Summary

Your new company

Long‑established, family‑run firm in the Black Country seeking to recruit a Tax Senior to join their team. Having delivered high-quality tax and accountancy services for many years, you'll benefit from a varied role and will become part of a friendly, supportive and committed team. You'll work with a wide range of clients across different industries, giving you the chance to broaden your experience in a collaborative and welcoming environment.

Your new role

As a Tax Senior, you will manage your own portfolio of clients and handle a broad mix of tax compliance and advisory work. You will prepare and submit personal tax returns, trust returns, R185s, residential property returns and P11Ds, while also responding to queries across personal tax, P11Ds, IHT and general tax planning.

Additionally you will provide advisory support and calculations, including PAYE, NIC and comparisons between limited company and personal tax positions. Your role will also involve residency‑related work such as advising on the Statutory Residence Test and preparing Certificates of Residence.

You will use your excellent communication skills to liaise directly with individuals, trustees and companies, building long-lasting client relationships.

What you'll need to succeed

To be considered for this role, you will need at least two years' experience in a tax role within practice, along with strong technical knowledge of personal tax compliance.

You should feel confident preparing tax returns and comfortable managing your own client portfolio. Strong communication skills, attention to detail and the ability to work independently are essential.

Relevant accountancy and/or tax qualifications would be advantageous, but experience will be key.

What you'll get in return

You will receive a competitive salary (c. £30 -£40k p.a. depending on experience) along with a range of benefits. You'll be part of a friendly and supportive team, work with a diverse client base and have full support for CPD and ongoing training.

Flexible working hours are available after an initial period, and a competitive study package is offered where applicable.

This is an excellent opportunity to develop your tax career within a stable and respected firm.

The firm operates a 35h working week for full-time employees and part-time working patterns will be considered, including school hours to support family logistics.
