Within this small accountancy practice I have worked as the Tax Manager for the past 7 years and on times the role has been a challenge but it has also given me a wide range of knowledge and a real understanding of what value added service I can bring. The role involves a considerable amount of compliance work but is extremely varied which keeps the job interesting. In recent years people seem to have thought more about what will happen to their assets when they are no longer with us and have required us to look at their inheritance tax position which in some ways can be quite satisfying when the planning that has been done results in a considerable saving to the individual.
