Senior Tax Advisor £60,000 - £70,000 OTE £80,000 - £90,000 Fully Remote Our client is a high-growth tax and strategic advisory firm working with entrepreneurs, privately owned businesses, high-net-worth individuals and ambitious companies across the UK and overseas. 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. The Role You will work closely with the senior leadership team, taking responsibility for complex tax advisory work while helping to lead and develop the wider tax department. The client base includes founder-led businesses, scaling companies, entrepreneurs and private clients with significant wealth. These are clients who need proactive, commercially intelligent advice rather than standard compliance-led support. Many are growing quickly, restructuring, expanding internationally, planning transactions or dealing with increasingly complex tax considerations. You will be involved in leading advisory projects, managing senior client relationships and providing clear, technically robust advice across both corporate and private client tax matters. Typical responsibilities will include: • Leading complex tax advisory engagements for entrepreneurs, owner-managed businesses and high-net-worth individuals, • Advising on corporate tax, private client tax and wider strategic tax planning, • Supporting clients through growth, restructuring, succession, investment, transactions and international expansion, • Acting as a trusted adviser to entrepreneurs and privately owned businesses, • Reviewing technical work and helping to develop the wider tax team, • Working with senior leadership to shape the advisory function as the firm continues to scale, • Identifying opportunities to improve service delivery, technical standards and client outcomes Why This Opportunity Stands Out This is a chance to access the quality of work, resources and client complexity often associated with larger firms, but within a more agile, entrepreneurial and genuinely influential environment. You will not be one of many senior people in a large corporate structure. You will be a central figure in the firm’s next phase of growth, with visibility across the business and the opportunity to help build something of long-term value. The firm has achieved significant year-on-year growth and continues to attract increasingly complex advisory work. There is a clear strategy for the future, continued investment in technology and infrastructure, and a strong appetite to keep raising standards across the business. For the right person, there is also the potential for extensive bonus incentives and longer-term equity participation. Your Profile This is a senior appointment, so it is essential that you are already proven within tax advisory. Ideally, you will have: • CTA, ACA, ACCA, CA qualification, • Proven background in corporate and/or private client tax advisory, • An ability to lead advisory conversations, • The ability to advise entrepreneurs, owner-managed businesses and high-net-worth individuals, • Experience reviewing complex tax matters and applying legislation in commercial scenarios, • International tax exposure would be advantageous, • The confidence to work closely with senior stakeholders and help drive a department forward This role would suit an experienced Tax Senior or Tax Manager who wants to move into a more entrepreneurial, advisory-led environment with genuine influence and long-term upside.
