You'll also showcase an innate talent to develop new and existing business, leading to the growth and success of your team and the Private Client business.
You'll be an inspiring leader and bring a cooperative, empowering and influential managerial style to the team.

Your team will be inspired by the example you set and will be motivated to deliver brilliant work for their clients.
You'll be a highly respected and credible 'go-to' person for everyone in the office for all matters relating to Private Client Tax, using your technical knowledge to support Directors and Partners in solving client and commercial challenges in a fresh and innovative way.
You will demonstrate great leadership qualities as well as strong technical experience and knowledge. We'd expect that you will have had some notable experience in another leadership role in Private Client Tax, with some equally notable achievements to showcase your success.
