About the role
Fresh People are recruiting a Tax Senior to join an established and growing professional services and advisory firm in Peterborough.
This is a broad mixed-tax opportunity covering corporate, personal and private client work. Our client is open-minded on qualification background and is particularly interested in someone relatively newly qualified who is keen to learn, broaden their tax knowledge and take on greater responsibility as they develop.
Importantly, you do not necessarily need to come from a pure tax background. A qualified accountant looking to move into and develop a career in tax will also be considered.
Working across a varied client portfolio, you will gain exposure to:
- Corporate and personal tax
- Private client tax matters
- Tax compliance and advisory work
- Preparation and review of tax computations and returns
- Supporting clients with tax queries and planning
- Working directly with clients as your experience develops
- Supporting more senior tax professionals on complex assignments
- Developing broader technical tax knowledge
- Increasing client ownership and responsibility over time
About You
- AAT, CTA, ACA or ACCA qualified
- Ideally around 1–2 years’ post-qualified experience
- Tax experience advantageous but not essential for a qualified accountant looking to retrain
- Strong technical and numerical ability
- Interested in developing across both corporate and personal/private client tax
- Confident communicator with a client-focused approach
- Bright, commercially minded and willing to learn
- Looking for a role offering genuine development and increasing responsibility
The opportunity to build broad mixed-tax expertise across corporate, personal and private client work. This could be particularly attractive to either an existing Tax Senior wanting broader exposure or an ACA/ACCA qualified accountant looking to specialise and build their career in tax within an advisory-led environment.
