In a nutshell
Join us as a Trainee Tax Advisor (ATT/CTA) and build a long-term career in tax. You’ll earn while you learn, gaining hands on experience alongside your studies. We pay for all your training and qualifications and support you every step of the way. We’re proud to be certified as a Great Place to Work for the third year running, making this an excellent place to launch your tax career.
What you'll be doing
You’ll work within one of our specialist teams, corporate tax, private client tax, tax advisory services or VAT, while studying towards the ATT/CTA qualifications. This combination is the gold standard for tax professionals.
Tax is central to accountancy, and you’ll quickly learn how to interpret complex legislation and explain it clearly to clients. Your day-to-day work could include:
1. Preparing profit and loss statements and tax returns
2. Designing accounting processes for companies
3. Analysing financial data to identify efficiencies and savings
4. Supporting clients with tailored tax planning and advice
Our clients range from large corporate companies to family businesses and individuals, giving you a diverse and rewarding experience from the start.

Studying alongside working is demanding. As a trainee tax advisor, you’ll need to do regular independent study and revision for your professional exams. It typically takes around three years to qualify as a tax advisor, by which time, you may already be managing your own clients or leading a small team. Your development won’t stop once you’ve qualified. We have clear programmes to help you progress to manager roles and beyond.
Your development
We recognise that personal development training is essential in helping you to become a trusted adviser, so alongside your ATT and CTA qualifications, you’ll receive personal development training to help you grow the skills and behaviours needed to become a successful tax professional.
You’ll be supported every step of the way:
11. A buddy before you start, to help you settle in
12. A line manager and student counsellor once you join, to keep you on track with your studies and careers goals
13. Ongoing learning and development opportunities beyond qualification, helping you progress into manager roles and beyond
What we're looking for
Bright, motivated graduates who want to build a meaningful career in tax. This programme offers structured development, early responsibility, and long-term progression.
Entry requirements:
14. On track to achieve or have obtained, a 2.2 or above in any degree discipline
