Tax Advisor - #2195060

Your new company
An exciting opportunity has arisen for a Tax Advisor to join a growing tax team within an established independent accountancy firm in Leeds city centre.This is a particularly strong opportunity for someone who may not currently work in a purely advisory role but is keen to develop their experience in this area. You'll gain exposure to a broad mix of corporate and personal tax work, working closely with senior members of the team and directly alongside the Tax Partner. The firm has an established presence across the region, with around 160 staff across six offices, and its Leeds operation is at an exciting stage of growth. Offering a friendly and sociable Leeds office culture, alongside a 37.5-hour working week, flexible and hybrid working, and an early 2pm finish every Friday, this is a great opportunity for someone looking for both career development and a genuinely supportive working environment.

Your new role

Joining the growing Leeds tax team, you will work across a varied client portfolio and have the opportunity to develop a broader, more commercially focused tax skillset.
Responsibilities and exposure will include:

• Working across a varied portfolio of corporate and personal tax clients
• Supporting both compliance and increasingly advisory-led assignments
• Working closely with the Tax Partner and senior members of the team
• Building strong relationships with clients and developing a commercial understanding of their businesses
• Getting involved in more complex tax matters as your experience develops
• Supporting the continued development and growth of the Leeds tax offering
• Gaining exposure across a broad range of clients, sectors and tax matters

This position could suit somebody currently operating around Tax Senior, Assistant Manager or Manager level, with flexibility depending on experience.

What you'll need to succeed

You do not need to come from a purely advisory background. The firm is particularly interested in individuals who have a strong grounding in tax and the ambition to broaden their experience.

• Have experience within personal tax, corporate tax or a mixed tax role
• Be looking to develop greater exposure to advisory work
• Have a dynamic and commercially minded approach
• Enjoy building relationships with clients rather than simply delivering compliance work
• Be comfortable working in a growing and collaborative environment
• Be keen to develop your career within a firm where you can have genuine visibility and influence

What you will get in return

• Genuine Partner exposure and the opportunity to work closely with senior decision-makers
• A broad and varied client base rather than being restricted to one sector or narrow area of tax
• A clear opportunity to develop from compliance into more advisory and commercially focused work
• An established independent firm with a full-service offering
• A relatively young and progressive partnership
• A friendly, sociable Leeds office with a strong team culture
• 37.5-hour working week
• Flexible working hours and hybrid working arrangements
• Early 2pm Friday finishes
