CBTax is one of the UK’s fastest-growing tax consultancies, and we’re hiring ambitious STEM grads to join our R&D Technical team. This isn’t your average graduate role, it’s a launchpad into consulting, innovation, and technical strategy.

What You Bring
* A degree in a STEM subject (Science, Technology, Engineering, or Maths)
* Curiosity, analytical thinking, and a love for problem-solving
* Clear, confident writing and communication skills
* The ability to simplify technical detail without stripping out the substance
* An interest in innovation, technology, and what makes businesses tick
You’ll Thrive Here If You…

* Enjoy breaking down complex ideas and turning them into compelling narratives
* Are excited to build a career in a high-growth, high-impact consultancy
* Value progression, mentorship, and being surrounded by smart people
* Are more interested in innovation than number-crunching
What’s in It for You?
