Shaftesbury Dorset SP, Shaftesbury, United Kingdom Hays Accountancy and Finance Full time

You will be working for an independent, forward-looking firm that continues to build on its traditional roots and reputation, offering comprehensive compliance and advisory services. Their clients have a wide geographical spread, mainly within the Dorset, Wiltshire, Hampshire and Somerset areas, and with a split tax function, the firm is looking to grow their specialist Private Tax team to partner with local solicitors, HNWI's and agricultural clients.

This position of Tax Director will involve leading the private client tax department and providing expert tax advisory services. The Tax Director will play a crucial role in managing a portfolio of high net worth clients and driving the strategic growth of the tax department. You will be responsible for the delivery of high-level tax advisory services and assist in the development and implementation of strategies for departmental growth. You will ensure compliance with all relevant tax laws and regulations, build and maintain strong client relationships and collaborate with other departments to provide integrated services to clients.

You will have access to continuous professional development opportunities and be a part of an inclusive and supportive company culture.
