Tax Technician school and college leaver programme:

Salary: £14k – £20k per annum (subject to area/region)

Locations: London, Birmingham, South East and Manchester

You can specialise in:

• Corporate & Indirect Tax – focusing on Corporation Tax or VAT Compliance
• Human Resource Consulting

You’ll learn and develop the specialist skills our clients look for and value most. This includes studying towards a professional qualification, with support from us all the way.

A position in Tax provides you with the opportunity to work within a team covering an arena which is increasingly growing ever more complex. Subject to the team you join, you could provide tax advice on; mergers and acquisitions, corporation tax, transfer pricing, treasury and finance, international structuring, indirect tax, tax compliance, workforce structuring, reward and compensation frameworks, expatriate tax and international mobility. Clients include global players, FTSE 100 companies and middle market organisations. As part of the School and College Leaver programme you’ll undertake a self directed learning programme involving; professional qualifications, gaining knowledge of the industry and market, technical skills, self development & awareness and leadership skills.

How you’ll develop

You’ll enjoy plenty of practical, on-the-job training while studying for a professional qualification with the Association of Tax Technicians (ATT). This usually takes around two years. We’ll give you study leave to go to college plus plenty of support, but you’ll need to study in your own time too. The hard work will be worth it though when you pick up your qualification. And the great thing is, by the time you complete your exams, you’ll have lots of valuable experience to build on. Do well and you could go on to take your CTA exams in your fourth year and become a Chartered Tax Adviser.

At the same, time, whichever area you work in, you’ll enjoy plenty of interaction with clients – from multinationals to ambitious start-ups across a wide range of industry sectors – in meetings and over the phone. You’ll support busy client teams by advising businesses on tax issues, and doing anything from technical research to drafting correspondence to going with senior colleagues to meetings. And you’ll get a solid grounding in your specialism plus regular training and updates to boost your development. Gradually you’ll take on your own portfolio of clients as you progress.

What you need

This technically focused programme is open to you if:

• you’re leaving school with at least a 240 UCAS tariff OR
• you’ve finished your degree but haven’t quite met the criteria for our graduate programme; or you’ve already started your career but you’re looking for a change of direction.
