Core Tax

Working in Tax you'll help clients - from the largest organisations to budding entrepreneurs and high-net-worth individuals - manage their tax risk, understand their obligations and comply with complex legislation. You'll tackle a broad range of work that includes multinational advisory projects, mergers and acquisitions advice, tax compliance and researching business issues that affect clients' tax affairs.

You'll work with clients on matters critical to their business including interpreting developments in case law, the implications of moving into new territories or introducing new products.

You could be involved in purely UK activities or global projects, working on more efficient internal processes or on a merger or acquisition.

Programme

Our School and College Leaver programmes are designed to help you develop your business skills through real client work, while studying towards qualifications that will give you a head start in your career. You'll earn a competitive salary and receive coaching from our people, who are experts in their field. At the same time, thanks to our study support, you won't need to worry about paying for course and exam fees, textbooks or revision materials.
