Personal Tax Assistant/Trainee Contract Permanent

I am supporting a large, established local Firm of Accountants based in North Kent who is looking to appoint a Personal Tax Assistant. Ideally they are looking for someone who is AAT Qualified or studying or CTA studying and looking to specialise in Personal Taxation.

The role requires and experience individual with a minimum of a few years’ experience of working within a Practice environment with the ability to support clients in the preparation of tax computations, dealing with queries, preparation of VAT returns and liaising with the HMRC.

The role will be predominately compliance focused with a portfolio of about 250 clients, so would need to be someone experienced of either supporting a portfolio or managing your own portfolio and providing appropriate client services. You will be responsible for all deal with aspects of tax planning and advisory for the clients you will be responsible for. Although you would need to have some ambition to develop the advisory role you would need to have a focus on the compliance elements of the role and workload and also be adaptable to embracing technology and a paperless process.

There is the possibility of this being a part-time position although there would need to be some flexibility during busy periods. There is also the potential of support for study being given. The Firm are progressive and very focused on growth and service delivery and this opportunity would be ideal for someone who is looking to develop their career and on the job development.

Unfortunately, due to the high number of applications currently being received, only shortlisted candidates will be contacted.
