Personal Tax Senior

Your new company
This well‑established and highly respected independent accountancy firm, based in Edinburgh, is known for its excellent client feedback and strong online reputation. They pride themselves on delivering a personable, high‑quality service to a loyal and varied client base, and they are recognised locally as a firm that genuinely values professionalism and long‑term relationships. You'll be joining a supportive, approachable team where quality of work and client care are central to everything they do.

Your new role
As a Personal Tax Senior, you will manage your own portfolio of personal tax clients, providing accurate and insightful compliance and advisory support. Your responsibilities will include preparing and reviewing self‑assessment tax returns, handling technical queries, and supporting junior colleagues. You'll work closely with senior staff and partners, gaining exposure to more complex advisory work as you develop. This is a role with strong potential for progression, offering stability and meaningful involvement in a respected local practice.

What you'll need to succeed
You'll ideally be ATT or CTA qualified, or working towards a recognised tax qualification, and have solid experience in personal tax within an accountancy practice. You should be technically strong, well‑organised, and confident managing your own workload. Just as importantly, you'll be someone who enjoys working directly with clients, building trust, and providing reliable, accurate advice. A proactive, team‑focused approach and a commitment to high‑quality service will help you thrive in this role.

What you'll get in return
You'll join a friendly, supportive firm that invests in its people and offers a genuinely positive working culture. Expect a competitive salary, opportunities for ongoing professional development, and the chance to work with an interesting and high‑quality client base that will continue to build your technical skills. The firm's strong reputation and stable leadership create a great platform for long‑term career growth, with scope to progress and shape your role as you develop.
