Private Client Tax Director

Lusona is working with a highly regarded specialist practice in Glasgow to appoint a Private Client Tax Lead at Senior Manager or Director level.

This is a senior role combining Private Client Tax compliance and advisory, with responsibility for an established portfolio of approximately 400 private clients. The firm is flexible about the precise balance of the position. For someone with particularly strong advisory expertise, the role could be weighted significantly towards advisory work.

• Provide personal tax advice connected to corporate transactions, including demergers and MBOs.
• Manage key client relationships, including work for a professional services firm
• Work closely with the Partners and wider tax team.
• Support and develop more junior colleagues.

You will be an experienced Private Client Tax Senior Manager or Director, with strong technical knowledge and the confidence to manage important client relationships.

You should have:

• Experience across both compliance and advisory work.
• The ability to oversee and review a substantial client portfolio.
• Strong client relationship and communication skills.
• Experience of complex Private Client Tax advisory work.
