Private Client Tax Partner

Your new company
A leading provider of accounting, tax, audit, advisory, and business services across the UK and Europe. With a strong presence in Glasgow and a people-first approach, this firm is committed to delivering exceptional service through collaboration, authenticity, and innovation. As part of a dynamic and growing team, you'll join a firm that values your individuality and empowers you to make a real impact.

Your new role
As a Private Client Tax Partner, you will take a leading role in shaping and expanding the firm's private client tax presence across Glasgow and the wider region. You will oversee a broad and sophisticated portfolio of high‑net‑worth individuals, business owners, and family offices, offering tailored, insightful guidance on inheritance tax, capital gains tax, trusts, and long‑term estate planning. In this senior position, you'll act as the trusted advisor on the most complex and sensitive client matters, building deep, lasting relationships through exceptional technical expertise and a highly personal approach.
Alongside your advisory responsibilities, you will drive the growth of the practice through proactive networking and strategic business development, helping to strengthen the firm's profile and win new opportunities. Your leadership will be central to developing a high-performing team: you'll mentor and inspire junior colleagues, support their progression, and foster a culture of collaboration and excellence. Working closely with other service lines, you will ensure clients benefit from fully integrated, holistic solutions that reflect every dimension of their financial affairs.
What you'll need to succeed

To succeed in this position, you'll bring a recognised professional qualification such as CTA or ACA/ACCA, or an equivalent credential, supported by substantial experience within private client tax at a senior level. You will have a well‑established ability to navigate complex tax matters, coupled with a proven history of managing sophisticated client relationships with confidence and clarity.
Your leadership style will be essential to the role: you'll know how to motivate, guide, and develop a team, creating an environment where people can grow and perform at their best. Equally important is your commercial awareness and proactive approach to business development, enabling you to identify new opportunities, nurture networks, and contribute meaningfully to the long‑term growth of the practice.
What you'll get in return
In this role, your success is genuinely supported and prioritised. You'll enjoy a competitive salary paired with a comprehensive benefits package, alongside the flexibility of modern hybrid working arrangements. Your long‑term development is built into the structure of the position, with clear progression pathways and the opportunity to advance at a pace that matches your ambition.
You'll be part of a culture that values collaboration, inclusion, and mutual support-an environment where people are encouraged to contribute ideas, challenge thinking, and shape the direction of the private client tax service line. This is a role where you can influence the future of the practice while continuing to grow professionally.
