Your New Company
This is an excellent opportunity to join a well-established and highly respected independent accountancy practice in Edinburgh. With a longstanding reputation for providing trusted advice to private clients, families, entrepreneurs, and owner-managed businesses, the firm has built its success on delivering a highly personal and professional service.
The practice offers a supportive and collaborative working environment where employees are encouraged to develop their technical expertise, build lasting client relationships, and progress in their careers. Due to continued growth within the tax team, an opportunity has arisen for a Personal Tax Senior to support an expanding and varied portfolio of clients.
Your new role
As a Personal Tax Senior, you will be responsible for managing a portfolio of personal tax clients, ensuring compliance obligations are delivered accurately and on time whilst providing a high standard of client service. Working closely with private individuals, business owners, and high-net-worth clients, you will become a trusted point of contact, helping to build long-term relationships and delivering practical tax support.
Your responsibilities will include:
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
- Preparing and reviewing self-assessment tax returns
- Managing client correspondence
- Liaising with HMRC
- Supporting a broad range of personal tax compliance matters
You will also have the opportunity to gain exposure to capital gains tax, inheritance tax, and wider private client tax issues, providing excellent scope for professional development and increased advisory exposure over time.
Working alongside experienced tax professionals, you will contribute to the continued growth of the department whilst developing your own technical and client management skills.
What You'll Need To Succeed
To be successful in this role, you will have previous personal tax experience gained within an accountancy practice environment and be comfortable managing your own workload and client relationships.
You may currently be working as a Tax Assistant, Tax Semi-Senior, or Personal Tax Senior and be looking for an opportunity to further develop your career within a supportive and well-regarded firm. Strong communication skills, attention to detail, and a proactive approach to client service are essential. ATT, CTA studies, or equivalent experience would be advantageous, although candidates qualified by experience will also be considered.
