Are you a well-rounded tax professional with strong experience across CGT, VAT, personal tax, and inheritance tax?

We're working with a respected and growing accountancy practice based in York, seeking an experienced Tax Advisor to join their team. This is a fantastic opportunity to take on a varied and intellectually stimulating tax role, providing advisory and compliance support across a diverse portfolio of clients – including high-net-worth individuals, owner-managed businesses, and trusts.

The firm prides itself on its collaborative culture and client-first approach. This role would suit someone with strong technical tax expertise and the ability to communicate complex advice clearly and confidently.

 

Key Responsibilities:

  • Provide detailed and tailored advice on a wide range of tax issues including:

    • Capital Gains Tax

    • Inheritance Tax and estate planning

    • VAT queries, including complex areas and schemes

    • Personal tax advice and compliance

  • Support the wider team with tax planning opportunities for individuals and business owners

  • Liaise directly with clients and HMRC regarding tax matters

  • Assist with reviewing or preparing personal tax returns as needed

  • Keep up to date with changes in tax legislation and assess the impact on client affairs

  • Contribute to staff training and mentoring where appropriate

 

The Ideal Candidate Will Have:

  • Significant experience in a tax-focused role within a UK accountancy practice

  • Strong technical understanding of UK tax legislation across multiple tax areas

  • Excellent communication skills and client-facing confidence

  • A professional qualification such as CTA, ACA, or ACCA is highly desirable (but not essential if qualified by experience)

  • A proactive, solution-focused approach to complex tax challenges

  • Ability to manage a varied workload independently and as part of a collaborative team
