An exciting opportunity has arisen to join a successful Top 20 firm as a tax partner or director (with promotion to partnership in the short term). The firm?s philosophy is to combine local knowledge with strong national skills and it has a culture which encourages and rewards success. These factors have helped ensure that the firm enjoys a strong reputation locally for providing a full range of added value services and have helped it win an enviable client base. It is now looking to recruit a tax partner with strong technical skills (probably with a focus on private client work but with at least a sound understanding of SME tax issues). Experience of Tax Investigations would be a bonus but is not essential. The firm, which prides itself on its friendly corporate culture, is flexible as to whether to recruit a direct entry partner or a partner designate who will progress through to partnership within a short period. You are likely to have a relevant tax qualification and will certainly have a commercial outlook and plenty of drive and ambition.
