Gemma May Ltd is a trusted partner for ambitious leaders in the tax profession. 
With 20 years of relationships at the highest levels, Gemma and her team are known for their integrity, discretion and ability to balance client and candidate needs with rare candour. 

Unlike traditional recruiters who push CVs or coaches who operate outside the sector, Gemma May Ltd blends deep market insight with long-term, values-led relationships. 

They act as a bodyguard for both clients and individuals, protecting reputations, asking the difficult questions and guiding people to decisions that stand the test of time. 

Their work sits at the intersection of executive search and coaching, supporting leaders and firms to move intentionally, optimise their decisions and strengthen the profession through people. 

We work with ambitious tax leaders, directors, associate partners and partners, who want to take the next step in their career or leadership journey. 

Many are in the Big Four or Top Ten firms; where politics, glass ceilings or narrow niches can leave them feeling stuck or undervalued. 

Through discreet executive search and trusted coaching, we help them design and step into roles where they can thrive, firms that value their commercial impact, leadership and authenticity. 

Whether through recruitment or coaching, our focus is always the same: strengthening the profession through people and helping leaders achieve intentional optimisation, clarity, freedom and impact by design, not chance.
