Personal Tax Advisor – Accountancy Practice | Kingston upon Thames | £45,000 - £55,000 (DOE)

TPF Recruitment are proud to be supporting an established, independent accountancy practice in their search for a talented Personal Tax Advisor to join their Kingston upon Thames office.

Are you a personal tax professional looking for that next step where you can really make an impact and help shape the future of a tax department? Do you enjoy working closely with entrepreneurial clients, offering bespoke advice and solutions that make a real difference?

If so, this could be the ideal opportunity for you.

This is a forward-thinking and growing accountancy practice with a client base made up largely of small and medium-sized businesses. This role is primarily based in their Kingston office, with hybrid flexibility (3 days office, 2 days remote). The business is built on a strong foundation of technical excellence, client care and a collaborative culture.

You’ll be joining as a Personal Tax Advisor, reporting directly to a partner and taking on a key role in developing and leading the personal tax function over time. It’s a role with plenty of autonomy, scope to grow into a leadership position, and real influence over how the department evolves.

You’ll be working closely with company directors and sole traders, providing high-quality tax compliance and advisory services. There’s a real mix of interesting clients and complex work here, including plenty of tax planning opportunities.

• Managing a varied personal tax portfolio of 150-200 clients

• Preparing and reviewing self-assessment tax returns, including complex cases

• Handling P11Ds and ad hoc tax queries

• Spotting tax planning opportunities across income tax, CGT, property and inheritance tax

• Providing advisory support to both personal and corporate clients

• Supporting junior team members and reviewing their work

• Liaising with partners, and proactively managing client deadlines and expectations

• Occasionally travelling into the central London office for client meetings

• ATT qualified (CTA desirable, but not essential)

• Around 5 years’ experience in a tax role within an accountancy practice

• Strong knowledge of personal tax, CGT, and mainstream compliance areas

• Excellent communicator, with the ability to explain tax matters clearly to a range of clients

• Experience reviewing work prepared by junior staff

• Able to work independently, as well as part of a team

• Based within commuting distance to Kingston upon Thames – essential

• Competitive salary depending on experience (£45,000 - £55,000)

• 25 days holiday + bank holidays

• An extra day off for your birthday

• Study support and ongoing training

• Clear career progression plan – the path to Personal Tax Director is within reach

• Flexible working (3 days in-office, 2 remote)

• Friendly and collaborative team culture

This is more than just another tax job. It’s a genuine opportunity to step into a pivotal role and grow something of your own within a supportive and forward-thinking practice.
