Opportunities at Director level within a well-regarded and ambitious corporate tax practice do not arise often, and this role with a leading firm of Chartered Accountants in Bristol is one that any senior tax professional operating at the top of their field would do well to consider seriously, with flexible working, a company pension, and much more on offer within a firm that is committed to rewarding and retaining exceptional talent.

Crowe Watson Recruitment is one of a very small number of specialist accountancy recruiters with the experience, network, and discretion to handle a Director level appointment with the professionalism it demands. The team has a deep understanding of the Bristol corporate tax market at senior level, and brings that to every aspect of the search process. For a move of this significance, Crowe Watson is the right partner to have alongside you.

Bristol’s corporate tax market is one of the most active and sophisticated outside of London, and this firm is well positioned within it, with a client base that spans a range of sectors and levels of complexity that will provide a consistently stimulating environment for any individual of real seniority and distinction. As Corporate Tax Director, you will take a pivotal role in shaping the strategic direction of the firm’s corporate tax offering, leading a high-performing team, overseeing a prestigious and complex client portfolio, and working in close partnership with the firm’s partners to drive continued growth. This is a role for someone who combines exceptional technical expertise with strong commercial instincts, outstanding leadership capability, and the personal credibility to operate at the very highest level of the profession. You might not meet all the criteria, but if you are passionate about developing yourself and your career, we’d love to hear from you.
