The firm has grown significantly over recent years, combining high-level technical tax advice with a modern, commercially led approach to client service. As the business continues to scale, this is a key senior appointment for someone who wants more influence, more autonomy and a genuine role in shaping the future of an advisory-led tax function. This is not a traditional corporate-led accountancy firm. You will be joining an ambitious, founder-led advisory business with a high-calibre client base, a strong market profile and a clear plan for continued growth.
