🆕 Personal Tax Semi Senior / Senior

Private Client Tax Semi-Senior / Senior
Bristol | Hybrid Working | Independent Practice

An excellent opportunity has arisen for a Private Client Tax Semi-Senior or Senior to join a highly regarded independent accountancy practice based in Bristol.

This role would suit an individual looking to develop their career within a collaborative and relationship-led environment, where there is genuine opportunity to gain broad exposure across both compliance and advisory work whilst working closely with experienced senior professionals.

The firm acts for a diverse portfolio of private clients including directors, entrepreneurs, property investors, high-net-worth individuals, and owner-managed businesses. As a result, the work is varied, technically interesting, and far more client-focused than many larger or heavily process-driven firms.

The Opportunity:
• Managing a portfolio of private client tax compliance work including self-assessment tax returns.
• Exposure to Capital Gains Tax, income tax planning, and ad-hoc advisory assignments.
• Supporting with tax planning projects for business owners, directors, and high-net-worth individuals.
• Liaising directly with clients and building long-term professional relationships.
• Working closely with senior leadership and gaining hands-on mentorship and technical development.
• Opportunity to broaden advisory exposure over time rather than remaining solely compliance-focused.
• Hybrid and flexible working environment with a strong emphasis on work-life balance and staff wellbeing.

The Ideal Candidate:
• Experience working within Private Client Tax in an accountancy practice environment.
• ATT qualified, CTA studying, qualified by experience, or ACA/ACCA with tax exposure.
• Strong interpersonal and communication skills.
• Comfortable managing client relationships and working collaboratively within a team.
• Someone looking for a long-term opportunity within a supportive and progressive independent practice.

What Makes This Opportunity Different:
Unlike many larger firms, this environment offers genuine autonomy, direct client exposure, and the ability to become a trusted advisor rather than simply working within a narrow compliance function. The culture is personable, collaborative, and growth-focused, making it particularly attractive for individuals seeking long-term progression within a modern independent firm.

For further information, please apply confidentially or contact us directly for an informal discussion.

My client is committed to equality, diversity, and inclusion, fostering an environment where all individuals are valued and encouraged to reach their full potential. The firm values technical excellence, integrity, enthusiasm, and collegiality, providing a workplace where professionals can thrive while delivering outstanding client service.
