Specialist Tax Advisor | Chester | Up to £55,000\n A boutique tax practice in Chester is looking for a CTA-qualified (or near-qualified) Tax Advisor to join its specialist team, delivering complex advisory work across corporate tax, trusts, inheritance tax and VAT – rather than routine personal tax compliance. \n This is a role for someone who wants deeper technical work, direct client contact, and a genuine seat at the table in a smaller, close-knit practice – not another number in a large, siloed compliance team.
