About the role
Join ‘Team Tax’ 🚀: Straight-talking, collaborative, and built for legends who want to make an impact from day one. This is your launchpad to learn fast, contribute early, and keep levelling up. 📈
Tax is in the fast lane! 🏎️ With AI, global rules, sustainability vibes, private wealth, and international growth, the moves our clients make have serious consequences. That means your work here? It genuinely matters. Our tax school/college leaver apprenticeship is your golden ticket to a future packed with opportunities and epic new experiences.
You'll build serious tech skills, vibe with clients directly, and transform complex tax stuff into clear, actionable advice. 💡
You won't be flying solo. 🧑🤝🧑 In Team Tax, collaboration is our superpower. You’ll learn from people who’ve been exactly where you are, who totally get the hustle of balancing client work, studying, and smashing exams. They've got your back to build confidence, ask those burning questions, and deliver your absolute best. 🔥
We've got specialist areas like VAT/indirect tax, employer solutions, private client services, corporate tax, innovation reliefs, transfer pricing, capital allowances, and tax investigations. So, tons of space to find your niche! 🎯
Please note: The only area available in this location is Corporate Tax. 🏢
Whatever your vibe, you’ll be:
- Working directly with clients and teammates on both crunching numbers and giving advice. 🤝
- Building expertise in UK and international tax, backed by a global crew. 🌍
- Developing the confidence, judgement, and technical skills to become a trusted business advisor. 💪
- Using digital tools to work smarter and add major value for our clients. 💻

Your adventure kicks off on 14 September 2027. These start dates are locked in – the training you get from day one is all about giving you the best launch possible for your career with us. 🚀

Get structured training, official qualifications, and real client experience in a team where every voice matters. We'll support you to level up your technical knowledge, boost your commercial confidence, and build a career that feels authentically yours. ✨
