Able Bridge Recruitment are thrilled to be kicking off 2024 with several brand new vacancies that our clients are needing assistance with.  We have been contacted by one of our key clients who are based in the near Pebbles but who have various office locations throughout the Scottish region. 

We are assisting them in the recruitment of a personal tax specialist to come and join the organisation on a permanent basis to manage a portfolio of personal tax clients.

The role holder will report into the partner who heads up the area of their business and although you will not be directly involved in managing the team, this can be something that is included within your responsibilities if it is something that is career enhancing. 

The Responsibilities
The purpose of this role is to provide personal tax advice to a portfolio of clients as well as being responsible for the production, distribution and submittal of personal tax returns.  The role holder will be responsible for their own workload and will be accountable for ensuring that specific tax deadlines are met.

Your client base will mainly be high net worth individuals, trustees, business owners, farm owners, landowners and partnerships. 

You will be expected to build relationships with your portfolio and as such a high degree of communication between you and your clients can be expected.
