Based in our new Northern Ireland Office, this is an ideal role if you are looking for an opportunity that will provide broad exposure to compliance and advisory projects, work with an array of brilliant clients, scope to progress and lots of fun along the way. 

We are looking for a Private Client Tax Assistant Manager to come and join us. You will…

• Build strong client relationships, putting our clients at the heart of everything we do 

• Support senior team members on engagements, frequently taking responsibility for many aspects of those engagements and consistently delivering to high standards 

• Be curious about all aspects of business, taking this through to understanding your clients really well and what’s important to them 

• Ensure proactive management of the compliance process where applicable (proactive communication internally & externally, ensuring that everything is up to date and delivered on time) 

• Take accountability for managing WIP/Fees/prompt billing and payment on your portfolio, with the support of the senior team when needed 

We have growth aspirations to significantly increase the size of the Private Client business and we want you to join us on that journey and be part of something special.

A simple notion, but an irreplaceable part of what makes CP, CP.  

In addition to those core values, as the next Private Client Tax Assistant Manager, you’ll have outstanding commercial acumen, always looking for ways to develop the team and business. Your drive to deliver the best alongside your determination for getting it right first time is what makes you stand out. Own it and back it!
