Tax jobs
Belong. Be challenged.
Complex work with real client influence
Join a specialist tax team, advising a mix of large corporates, international groups, owner-managed and family businesses, trusts and estates, and high net worth individuals. You’ll often work alongside colleagues in audit, deals and business advisory when the tax question touches the wider picture.
In our 140-strong team of tax advisors, you can build (or deepen) your niche while keeping your work varied. Your work could span restructuring, international tax, investigations, transactions, research and developer, employer tax or wealth planning.
If you’re an experienced tax adviser, you’ll value the autonomy to lead complex work, the scope to influence client decisions, and the support of high-calibre peers – alongside a clear progression path and the freedom to build your own tax niche.
You’ll be trusted with responsibility – leading pieces of work, spotting risk and opportunity early, and helping clients make confident decisions. And because you’re surrounded by specialists, support is close by when you need a sounding board.
You’d also be joining a team that’s recognised nationally: PKF Francis Clark won Best Employer in Tax at the Tolley’s Taxation Awards 2026 and were shortlisted for Best Regional Tax Firm.
PKF UK & Ireland, of which we are part, ranked in eprivateclient’s Top Accountancy Firms 2023 ranking which recognises the best UK tax advisory firms.
Everything you need to know about joining our tax team in one brochure
Supportive culture and clear progression
You can see a clear route forward, with opportunities to specialise, broaden, or move into leadership. A typical route is assistant, senior, assistant manager, manager and then senior manager, director, partner – with expectations set out at each stage.
As you progress, you’ll typically move from delivering technically strong work to leading client relationships, coaching others, and shaping the approach on complex matters – while building a profile in the areas you enjoy most. You’ll get regular feedback and development support to help you take the next step.
You won’t work in a silo. You’ll collaborate across the firm – bringing specialist input into transactions, valuations, business sales and wider advisory work. That cross‑practice exposure helps you keep learning, build your network, and keeps things very interesting!
You’ll have the flexibility to work remotely, and you’ll also spend a fair bit of time in the office – because great tax practice is built on collaboration and coaching. Your local base will be one of our eight offices, and you’ll come in regularly to stay connected with your team and the wider firm. You’ll also benefit from development events that bring all our tax team together, including our annual tax conference and regular lunch-and-learns to keep you up to speed with legislation changes and the evolving tax landscape.
Meet the tax team
"The culture at PKF Francis Clark has played an important part in shaping my professional development. By connecting with colleagues across different offices and departments, I have been able to build genuine working relationships in an environment where effort is recognised and support is readily available."
Ade, Tax trainee
I call my team “the A team” because they are the best. We are very supportive of one another. I feel lucky to be in this team.
Pearl, Senior, tax
“I’m older than most of my colleagues but I feel totally accepted. I’m valued because the ethos here is that we need to have diversity and varied skills within the team to enable us to rise to every challenge.”
Richard, Indirect tax consultant
“I wanted more interesting tax advisory work and a larger team to learn from and develop within, and I have absolutely found it here. The work is the most interesting and varied I have experienced.”
Nicola, Partner, tax
It’s a very supportive place to work and learn; we have an open-door policy and there are no stupid questions. What’s more, I can genuinely call a lot of my colleagues my friends.”
Chris, Partner, tax
“I joined last year after having worked for two of the big six accountancy firms. The biggest difference here is that the focus is far more on the people and providing good quality advice to clients versus just bringing in the money and hitting targets.”
Joe, Manager, tax
“The best thing about working here is having the flexibility and tools to do great work for our clients. This enables us to be our best as advisers and as a high performing team.
Rob, Business tax managerTax jobs FAQs
You’re likely to be a strong fit if you’ve built experience in complex tax compliance, advisory, or a general practice role with significant tax and client-facing responsibility. You enjoy taking ownership – leading on technical work, translating legislation into practical recommendations, and communicating clearly with clients and colleagues.
Absolutely! We want this to be so much more than a tax job. We have regular local socials and twice yearly regional socials, based around fun activities or food! We also hold an annual full team off-site gathering, which includes a conference, teambuilding activities, an evening meal and overnight stay. There are also organised charity volunteering days and team members can attend to one each year in lieu of working.
