About the role
Join the ‘Team Tax’ crew! 🚀 We're a no-nonsense, super collaborative bunch, all about making a real impact from the get-go. This is where you learn at lightning speed, jump into projects early, and keep pushing your boundaries. ⚡️
Tax is evolving FAST. Think AI, new global rules, sustainability goals, and international expansion – the choices clients make today have massive consequences. That’s why the work you do here truly MATTERS. 💡 Our Tax School/College Leaver Apprenticeship is your golden ticket to a future packed with opportunities and fresh experiences.
You’ll master technical skills, work face-to-face with clients, and transform complicated tax jargon into crystal-clear, actionable advice. 🗣️
You won't be on your own. Collaboration is our superpower in Team Tax. You'll be learning from people who've walked in your shoes and totally get the hustle of juggling client work, studying, and exams. They’ve got your back to boost your confidence, encourage your questions, and help you smash your goals. 💪
We dive deep into specialist areas like VAT/Indirect Tax, Employer Solutions, Private Client Services, Corporate Tax, Innovation Reliefs, Transfer Pricing, Capital Allowances, and Tax Investigations. So, loads of room to find your perfect niche! ✨
IMPORTANT: For this specific location, the ONLY area we have available is Innovation Relief.
The Gig:
No matter your chosen path, you'll be:
- Working directly with clients and colleagues on both making sure things are compliant and giving smart advice. 🤝
- Becoming a whiz in UK and international tax, backed by our global network. 🌍
- Building the confidence, sharp judgment, and technical smarts to become a trusted business advisor. 🧠
- Leveraging digital tools to work smarter and deliver even more value for our clients. 💻
What We're Hunting For:
We need curious minds, go-getters, and people ready to dive in! 🏊♀️ You don't need to be a tax guru already – we've got all the training, support, and hands-on experience to kickstart your career.
To even get in the game, you'll need:
- A minimum of 112 UCAS points from 3 A-Levels (or equivalent Level 3 qualification). 🎓

Your adventure begins on 14 September 2027. These start dates are crucial – the training you get from day one is all about giving you the absolute best launchpad for your career with us. 🚀
What's In It For You:
Get ready for structured training, professional qualifications, and real client wins in a team where every single voice counts. 🗣️ We'll support you to boost your technical skills, build serious commercial confidence, and craft a career that feels uniquely yours.
