Tax Accountant – Tunbridge Wells – CTA Qualified

An established and highly regarded accountancy practice in Tunbridge Wells is looking to welcome an experienced and capable Tax Accountant into the team. This is a fantastic opportunity for a confident, technically strong tax professional who enjoys variety and is looking to take on a visible, impactful role in a supportive and forward-thinking firm.

You’ll be joining a collaborative and high-performing environment, working with a wide range of clients and delivering a full spectrum of tax services – both advisory and compliance-based. There’s real scope here for someone who enjoys problem solving, thrives on responsibility, and wants to play a meaningful role in a respected practice.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Delivering expert tax advice across a broad range of areas, including income tax, corporate tax, inheritance tax, capital gains tax, estate planning, and group restructuring

  • Preparing and reviewing tax returns and computations for a wide-ranging client base – individuals, owner-managed businesses, and corporate groups

  • Supporting colleagues with tax queries, and acting as a technical resource across the firm

  • Providing proactive tax planning and advisory support to help clients optimise their tax positions

  • Handling HMRC correspondence and resolving enquiries and disputes on behalf of clients

  • Monitoring tax legislation changes and ensuring both internal processes and client affairs remain compliant

  • Mentoring junior team members, offering both technical and professional guidance

  • Playing a key role in high-value advisory and restructuring projects

What We’re Looking For:

  • CTA qualified (or qualified by substantial experience)

  • Strong all-round tax knowledge, gained in a practice environment

  • Confident communicator with the ability to build trusted client relationships

  • Commercially minded, technically strong, and solutions focused

  • Highly organised, with a sharp eye for detail and a proactive approach

  • Comfortable juggling deadlines, managing multiple priorities, and advising colleagues at all levels

Nice to Have (But Not Essential):

  • Experience managing a portfolio of tax clients

  • Prior team leadership or mentoring responsibility

What’s on Offer:

  • Competitive salary (market rate, depending on experience)

  • Death in Service Insurance (5x salary)

  • Private Medical Insurance

  • A stable, supportive team and great working culture

  • The opportunity to work on interesting, varied, and rewarding tax work every day

This is a brilliant role for a technically strong and people-savvy tax professional looking for more than just a job – it's a chance to step into a valued, long-term position with plenty of autonomy and support.
