Trusts Manager - Tier 1 Legal 500 Law Firm

Location: Birmingham
Salary: Up to £70,000 (depending on experience)
Hours: Full-time or Part-time (minimum 3 days per week)

Our client, a prestigious Tier 1 Legal 500 law firm based in Birmingham, is seeking a Trusts Manager to join their highly regarded Private Client team. This is a fantastic opportunity for a solicitor, accountant, or experienced professional looking for a technical role with flexible working arrangements.

The Role

The Trusts Manager will focus on trust accounts and tax returns, with scope to expand into personal tax and compliance work. The nature of the files means you'll work closely with a partner, providing support on complex matters, while having the freedom to take on as much or as little client contact as you prefer.

This role would particularly suit:

• A solicitor, accountant, or non-qualified professional with relevant experience.
• A former private client solicitor seeking a technical, less client-facing role.
• Someone looking for flexible working arrangements, including part-time hours (minimum 3 days per week).

Key Responsibilities

• Preparing and managing trust accounts and tax returns.
• Advising trustees and clients on tax planning to ensure compliance while maximising efficiency.
• Preparing inheritance tax accounts and supporting personal tax compliance.
• Collaborating with partners, clients, and third-party professionals to gather and validate information.
• Staying up to date with tax legislation and HMRC requirements.

What's on Offer?

• Flexibility: The firm is open to part-time arrangements (minimum 3 days per week) and offers hybrid working (typically 2 days in the office, 2 days from home).
• A Supportive Environment: You'll work closely with a partner on files, with the option to tailor your level of client contact to your preference.
• Development Opportunities: Expand your expertise into areas such as personal tax and compliance.
• Stability: The previous incumbent held this role for many years, highlighting the supportive and collaborative culture of the firm.

This is an excellent opportunity to join a market-leading law firm renowned for its expertise, client care, and exceptional working environment.
