This isn’t just another tax job.

We’re Cooper Parry - the UK’s largest accountancy B Corp - and we’re flipping the script on what it means to work in tax. Our Private Client team is evolving into a national powerhouse, and we’re on the hunt for an Assistant Manager to bring fresh thinking, and serious client skills to our Reading office.

This role isn’t about churning out tax returns. It’s about adding value, embracing automation, and helping shape the future of tax compliance.

What you’ll be doing

• Managing a portfolio of personal tax clients, with some partnership and trust work thrown in.
• Including preparing CGT calculations, handling client queries and keeping clients up to date with recent tax changes.
• Supporting the rollout of automation tools (yes, we’ve got a bot named Petar).
• Adding value to the team by challenging and driving change.
• Collaborating with a national team to deliver a seamless, tech-enabled compliance process.

What we’re looking for

• A qualified (including ATT, CTA) or experienced tax pro with private client compliance knowledge.
• Someone who’s client-obsessed - you know how to build trust and add value beyond the return.
• A change-maker who’s excited by automation, innovation, and doing things differently.
• A cultural fit - ambitious, collaborative, and not afraid to challenge the status quo.

We’ve been dubbed ‘the rebels of accountancy’. We’re straight-talking. Never afraid to share our opinions. We put people and relationships before products and services, and deliver a streamlined, client-focused service – free from unnecessary red tape.

• Best Companies’ No.1 Accountancy Firm & No.30 Best Large Company to Work For in the UK
