Our Tax practice collaborates with all kinds of organisations and businesses of different sizes, across a wide range of specialisms from International, Business and Indirect Taxes where we support clients on transactions and in managing their domestic and global tax obligations to People Taxes where we advise on all aspects of employee reward, support high-net-worth individuals and entrepreneurial families as well as providing a full range of advisory and compliance services to global clients with internationally mobile workforces.

With such a wide-ranging remit, Tax offers a broad range of career paths to ambitious graduates.

The work is challenging and rewarding. Throughout the programme, you’ll have the support of your senior leaders, engagement leaders, peers and the broader Tax community, enabling you to be at your best and build your network. You will be joining an inclusive environment, where you’ll have the support and backing of a diverse team. We will give you the skills, tools and intelligent systems you need to grow and learn. Increasingly, this will include the transformative power of AI, which we are embracing in a way that is values driven, human-centric and trustworthy.

On this programme you'll study for the ACA (or CA equivalent in Scotland), providing you with structured learning through a blend of innovative online, and in person study. You’ll develop valuable technical skills and have the support of our learning community - helping you to fulfil your career potential_. _

Our firm’s hybrid working model balances the flexibility of working from home with the importance of collaborating and learning in offices or at client sites. We trust our people to be where our clients need them to be, with our client-facing colleagues working together in person as often as needed.

As part of our tax team you’ll build friendships and shared experiences, innovating and learning together all whilst making a meaningful difference to the businesses we work with. If you’re curious, resilient and agile, you could thrive with us.
