Offer description

Who We Welcome

We recognise that talent comes from different paths, so we encourage applications from recent graduates or career changers. We do not expect applicants to have any prior relevant work experience.


About The Programme

Our training contract takes three and a half years to complete with full support and access to first-class tuition centres. If you’re AAT Level 4 qualified, you will be eligible for exemptions, otherwise we ask for all trainees to complete the full ACA. We believe that studying alongside a cohort gives you the best chance of exam success.


About The Team

The team deals with a large portfolio of companies operating in a variety of sectors, including manufacturing, technology, retail, recruitment, financial services, hospitality and property. These clients range from smaller owner‑managed businesses to large and complex listed groups, as well as charities and not‑for‑profit organisations. You’ll work in a fast‑paced environment on corporation tax compliance, including preparation of corporation tax returns and computations, advising on payment dates and dealing with all other administrative matters. In addition to compliance work, you’ll also have the opportunity to assist in tax advisory projects once you qualify and progress. As your understanding of taxation issues grows, so will the complexity of your workload. This is an exciting time to join our team which is expanding rapidly nationwide.


Key Dates To Apply

Applications close Sunday 14 June.


Your role and development

Your growth doesn’t just come from exams, and it comes from valuable work experience and real‑world learning.

* Gaining insight into complex tax areas, such as capital allowances, R&D tax relief, transfer pricing, and international tax, with guidance from experienced team members.
* Assisting in stand‑alone tax advisory projects, including learning about structuring acquisitions and disposals, transaction support, and due diligence.

* 2:1 undergraduate degree (expected or obtained) in any discipline
* A minimum of 120 UCAS points from your top 3 A Levels (or equivalent), excluding General Studies and AS Levels
* A minimum of 6 (or B) in GCSE Maths and English Language (or equivalent)

We welcome applications from candidates who are AAT qualified. Please include your qualification details in the academic section.
