Full job descriptionAn experienced Private Client Tax Manager is sought by a leading firm of Chartered Accountants in Durham, and we are pleased to be supporting them in finding the right individual for a role that sits within a well-regarded and established private client tax team, with a quality client base, genuine technical depth, and flexible working, a company pension, and much more on offer.
Crowe Watson Recruitment works exclusively within the accountancy profession, and that focus is something that consistently sets the team apart when it comes to the quality and relevance of the conversations they have with candidates at every level. The North East is a market Crowe Watson knows well, and the team brings genuine insight into the firms, the opportunities, and the candidate landscape across the region, ensuring that every introduction is well-considered and genuinely worthwhile for both parties. That is a standard Crowe Watson applies to every search, regardless of seniority or location.
As Private Client Tax Manager, you will take ownership of a varied and rewarding portfolio of high-net-worth individuals, trusts, and estates, delivering expert compliance and advisory services across a broad range of complex personal tax matters in a practice that is well-regarded in the local market and has a loyal and long-standing client base. The firm offers a genuinely supportive working environment, a collaborative and experienced team, and a clear route to senior manager level for the right individual, making this an attractive proposition for any accomplished private client tax professional who is looking for a role where their expertise will be recognised and their ambitions actively supported. Working closely with partners on more complex advisory matters, you will also play a meaningful role in the development of junior members of the team and in contributing to the ongoing growth and success of the practice. You might not meet all the criteria, but if you are passionate about developing yourself and your career, we’d love to hear from you.
