Consultant – Corporate Tax, Private Clients

The opportunity

As a Consultant in our Private Tax team, you’ll have the opportunity to work across a diverse and engaging client base, providing taxation advisory and compliance services to family offices, privately owned businesses and their families across a wide range of industries.

Our clients span the full business life cycle, from fast‑paced entrepreneurial start‑ups and high‑growth businesses, through to well‑established private enterprises, high‑net‑worth families and family offices, and recognisable household names. This exposure gives you the chance to build strong technical foundations while gaining valuable insight into how businesses evolve, grow and succeed.

You’ll work closely with experienced managers and partners, learning directly from those who advise business owners and families at critical points in their journey. It’s an ideal environment to develop your technical skills, commercial acumen and client relationships, while building a career in private tax that goes beyond routine compliance.
