Your responsibilities as Personal Tax Assistant

  • Manage a portfolio of sole traders, partnerships and directors
  • Collate client information and ensure accurate personal tax return processing
  • Submit returns to HMRC in a timely and compliant manner
  • Maintain and build strong client relationships to improve processes
  • Support ongoing improvements to ensure smooth peak-period delivery
  • Work collaboratively with senior tax colleagues on complex queries

What we’re looking for in a Personal Tax Assistant

  • Familiarity with managing your own client portfolio
  • AAT qualified and/or studying towards ATT (or equivalent)
  • Experience using tax software such as CCH or Iris (preferred, not essential)
  • Strong understanding of HMRC processes and compliance requirements

Working hours: 37.5 hours per week with flexible start and finish times (core hours 10:00–16:00)
