Your new company

You’ll be joining a highly respected, forward‑thinking professional services firm with a strong UK presence and a reputation for delivering market‑leading tax insight. The firm supports a substantial portfolio of partnership clients, including large professional partnerships, LLPs, and complex structures requiring deep technical expertise. You will be part of a collaborative and well‑resourced tax team that values specialist knowledge, continuous development, and delivering exceptional service.

Your new role

As a Partnership Tax Manager or Senior Manager, you will take responsibility for managing a portfolio of partnership clients and delivering a blend of compliance, advisory, and strategic planning work. Your day‑to‑day responsibilities will include leading client relationship management, running update calls, resolving tax queries, and providing proactive planning and risk mitigation advice. You will oversee the seamless delivery of compliance work by coordinating with internal teams, managing partnership tax returns, ensuring adherence to UK partnership tax law, and taking ownership of HMRC enquiries, billing, and workflow management.
You will also deliver advisory work across areas such as base profit reform (BPR), salaried member rules (SMR), transactions, and restructuring. In addition, you’ll play a key role in developing junior team members, supporting business growth, and sharing technical expertise across the wider tax practice.

What you'll need to succeed

You will hold a recognised professional qualification such as ACA, ACCA or CTA (or an equivalent international qualification). You will bring significant experience working with partnership clients, ideally within a professional services environment, with strong technical knowledge of UK partnership tax legislation and proven experience managing a client portfolio. You’ll be confident navigating complex tax issues, delivering advisory work, and maintaining excellent client relationships. Strong communication skills, commercial awareness, and the ability to lead and develop a nonperforming team will be essential.

What you'll get in return

You will join a supportive firm that recognises your expertise and rewards your contribution fairly. The benefits package includes empowered flexibility with time spent across office, home, and client site; private medical cover with 24/7 access to a virtual GP; and six annual volunteering days, alongside a comprehensive suite of wellbeing, financial, and lifestyle benefits. Above all, you’ll be joining an organisation that invests in your progression, values specialist tax capability, and offers genuine long‑term career opportunities within a high‑performing team.
