The Role
The role can be based from any of our East Anglia offices including Chelmsford, Colchester, Halstead, Harlow, Ipswich and / or Leigh on Sea.
In joining Affinia, you will be part of a growing, successful, forward thinking and dynamic tax department. As a Senior, this role is about solidifying core technical expertise in your relevant field and applying it consistently to your work. We want to see you take more ownership of client work and begin contributing to team development and business growth. This role is a crucial stepping stone, where you consolidate technical skills while beginning to stretch into client and team leadership. Excellent teamwork and communication skills are essential. The role requires an experienced individual of Corporate and or Mixed Tax compliance processes and workflow. However, there is also ample opportunity to get involved in high-value advisory work for a varied portfolio of individuals. We operate a hybrid working model, so you will split your time between the office, client sites when required, and from home when you are able.

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.
