Tax Manager / Senior Tax Manager Up to £80,000 DOE | Central London | Hybrid (3 Days Office/2 Days WFH) | Partnership Track
THE OPPORTUNITY
I'm recruiting for a fast-growing accountancy practice (grown from 5 to 29 staff) seeking a Private Client Tax Manager or Senior Tax Manager to lead and build their tax department. This is a genuine leadership role with a clear pathway to Partnership in an LLP structure.
This isn't just about compliance - you'll be building something.
WHY THIS TAX MANAGER ROLE STANDS OUT
- Lead and shape the tax department - genuine autonomy and influence
- Partnership opportunity - recently restructured to LLP with clear promotion pathway
- Unique client base - creative industries including music, film, fashion, and entertainment
- Business development focus - attend industry conferences, network, and win your own work
- Growing firm - 5x growth in recent years with ambitious expansion plans
- Hybrid working - 4 days office, 1 day WFH (more flexibility at management level)
- No tick-box mentality - initiative and entrepreneurial spirit valued over presenteeism
THE TAX MANAGER ROLE
The current tax lead is stepping back, creating this rare opportunity to take ownership of the tax function and grow it significantly. The firm can't currently service all client demand - they need someone who can build capacity and capability.
KEY RESPONSIBILITIES
- Technical Delivery
- Private client tax (core focus)
- Corporate tax (lower-level work)
- Royalties and withholding tax
- IHT planning and advisory
- Manage and review team output
Leadership & Growth
- Lead and develop the tax department (currently 2-person team)
- Build team capacity to service growing client demand
- Mentor and develop junior staff
- Set standards and drive technical quality
Business Development
- Proactively identify and win new tax clients
- Attend music industry conferences and networking events
- Build relationships within the creative sector
- Cross-sell services to existing client base
- Drive your own fee generation and department growth
THE CLIENT BASE - CREATIVE INDUSTRIES FOCUS
Music: Touring artists, publishers, record labels Film & TV: Major production companies (films with £200M+ budgets) Fashion: Fashion agencies, photographers, and brands Entertainment: Performers, creatives, and entertainment businesses Plus: Diverse commercial clients across other sectors
You'll work with interesting, entrepreneurial clients in dynamic industries - not just standard OMB/SME compliance.
WHAT YOU'LL NEED
Essential
- QBE or CTA qualified
- Strong private client tax background
- Proven leadership experience or clear readiness to step up
- Business development mindset - comfortable networking and winning work
- Initiative and drive - proactive, entrepreneurial approach
- Cultural fit with creative industries
- Someone who wants to build a department, not just manage one
Desirable
- Experience with entertainment/creative sector clients
- Royalties, withholding tax, or IHT planning experience
- CCH software knowledge
- Existing professional network or client following
WHAT'S ON OFFER
- Salary: Up to £80,000 DOE
- Partnership pathway: Clear route to Partner in LLP structure
- Hybrid working: 4 days office, 1 day WFH (flexible at management level)
- Autonomy: Shape the department and make it your own
- Growth environment: Join a rapidly expanding firm with ambitious plans
- Interesting clients: Work with creative, dynamic businesses
- Business development support: Access to industry events and conferences
- Software: CCH for tax compliance
THE FIRM This is a thriving, ambitious practice that's grown 5x in recent years. They've recently restructured to LLP to facilitate Partner promotions and have big plans for continued expansion.
The culture values initiative, personality, and cultural fit over box-ticking. They want someone entrepreneurial who can take ownership, spot opportunities, and drive growth - not someone waiting to be told what to do.
INTERVIEW PROCESS
- First stage: Zoom or face-to-face meeting in London
- Second stage: Meeting with Partner/Manager
No technical tests - they're assessing personality, cultural fit, and your ability to build relationships and win work.
THE IDEAL TAX MANAGER CANDIDATE
You're a QBE or CTA qualified tax professional ready to lead a department and make it your own. You're not looking for a pure compliance role - you want to build something, win clients, and progress to Partnership.
You're comfortable in creative industries, enjoy networking and business development, and have the initiative to spot opportunities without being prompted. You want autonomy, interesting clients, and a firm that rewards entrepreneurial spirit.
