Welcome to Carpenter Box, one of the largest independent firms in the South East. We have a headcount of over 250 staff across our offices in Worthing, Crawley, Brighton, Chichester, Portsmouth, and London. We’re always looking for motivated and excited people who share our values to help us serve our expanding client base and grow our exceptional practice.
At Carpenter Box, we understand the complexities of the modern tax system and believe that every taxpayer can benefit from expert guidance and tax advice. Our goal is to optimise our clients’ tax positions, enabling them to retain more of their hard-earned income and capital. Whether the client’s affairs are simple or complex, we are committed to providing tailored solutions that meet their needs. Due to continued growth, we are recruiting for a motivated and ambitious individual to join our Private Client Services team as a Tax Manager.

* Preparing technical analysis and working with team specialists to provide high-quality tax advice
* Working with client administrators to ensure proper client administration and risk procedures are followed
* Collaborating with local solicitors to assist with tax-related matters for their clients
