Our diverse, collaborative team advises on high-profile transactions, combining technical expertise, innovation and a genuine focus on continuous development. Join us to work on challenging, multi-country projects in a supportive, dynamic environment where your impact truly matters.
The Opportunity
We’re seeking an experienced Senior Tax Manager to join our Private Client team, managing a diverse portfolio of clients with complex US and/or UK tax affairs. You’ll play a key role in delivering outstanding client service across compliance and advisory matters, developing junior team members, and supporting business growth through effective portfolio management.
This role offers exposure to challenging advisory work, collaboration with Directors and the wider EY Private network, and excellent opportunities for progression to Director and beyond, along with potential secondments across EY.
The Team
Our US/UK Cross Border team advises international high-net-worth individuals, family offices, private equity and hedge fund principals, and high-profile professional partnerships. We provide a full range of tax services — from compliance and residence/domicile advice to transactions, wealth optimisation, and succession planning.
Key Responsibilities
- Manage an allocated portfolio of clients, ensuring a consistently high level of service.
- Plan, delegate, and oversee work effectively to meet deadlines and maintain quality standards.
- Lead the billing process and collaborate with the Credit Control team to ensure prompt payment of invoices.
- Conduct complex final reviews to ensure accuracy, manage risk, and uphold quality.
- Sign off completed tax returns as agreed with senior staff.
- Demonstrate a broad understanding of related tax areas (e.g., estate/gift tax, IHT, corporate tax) and identify when to engage internal specialists.
- Provide ongoing coaching, guidance, and performance feedback to junior team members.
- Support the technical, personal, and professional development of allocated staff, managing performance issues with HR guidance when needed.
- Ensure all compliance work meets EY’s high standards, minimising risk and maintaining excellent client service.
- Act as a role model for EY’s values, maintaining the highest levels of confidentiality and professionalism.
- Work collaboratively across teams, providing support to colleagues to ensure the smooth and efficient running of the practice.
