Personal Tax Manager

High net worth clients | West Sussex (hybrid)

Location: West Sussex (hybrid)

Salary: Competitive, depending on experience

Contract: Permanent, full time

Focus: Personal tax compliance for HNW clients

If you enjoy the technical side of personal tax, know your way around a complex HNW return, and get a kick out of bringing juniors on, this one is worth a look.

ABOUT THE FIRM

My client is an integrated professional services group that brings wealth management, tax and legal advice together under one roof. That matters here. You won't be working in a tax silo. You'll sit alongside wealth planners and lawyers who look after the same families, so the advice is joined up and clients tend to stay for the long haul.

THE ROLE

This is a compliance-led Tax Manager role with your own portfolio of high net worth clients. You'll review and manage returns, keep a firm grip on deadlines, and be the person HMRC deals with when something needs sorting. There's some advisory project work too, but the heart of the job is making sure complex compliance is done properly and clients get excellent service.

WHAT YOU'LL BE DOING

Managing a portfolio of HNW personal tax clients and owning those relationships

Reviewing returns to a high standard and spotting the issues others might miss

Leading on HMRC correspondence and enquiries

Developing junior team members through review, feedback and coaching

Working closely with the wealth team on shared clients

Picking up ad hoc advisory projects alongside senior management

Keeping an eye on time, billing and recovery across your portfolio

WHO THIS WILL SUIT

CTA qualified or part-qualified, plus ATT

At least five years in personal tax, ideally with HNW clients

Confident reviewing complex returns and running your own client list

Able to explain technical points clearly, to clients and juniors alike

CCH experience is a bonus, as is an interest in AI-enabled tax tools

WHY IT'S WORTH A CONVERSATION

Hybrid working, so you can balance office time with focused days at home

A multi-disciplinary setup, so your clients get joined-up advice and you get broader exposure

A role that values your review and people skills as much as your technical knowledge

A route into advisory work alongside the compliance

GET IN TOUCH

The firm is expecting a strong response and may close the vacancy early. If this sounds like you, drop me a line for a confidential chat sooner rather than later.
