Graduate Transfer Pricing Tax Trainee (ACA/CTA) - London - September 2027

Are you looking to start your career in Transfer Pricing Tax, helping multinational organisations navigate international tax requirements? We’re seeking ambitious individuals from all backgrounds to join our team as a trainee, studying towards the ACA/CTA joint qualification.

Saffery is a partner-led and people-focused firm of chartered accountants, tax and business advisers. Since 1855, we’ve built long-term relationships with our diverse, high-profile clients, across varied and specialised sectors. As a proud member of Nexia, a worldwide network of trusted member firms, we’ve got access to local insight on a global scale.

We pride ourselves on our informal and inclusive culture, building an environment where people can be themselves and enjoy challenging, interesting, rewarding careers.

When you work with Saffery, the well-respected accountancy firm where heritage meets ambition, you work with people who know your name. Who know you as a human being, not just a job title. Everyone belongs here. Always.

We recognise that talent comes from different paths, so we encourage applications from upcoming/recent graduates or career changers. We do not expect applicants to have any prior relevant work experience.

Our training contract takes three years and three months to complete with full support and access to first-class tuition centres. You’ll follow a structured development programme combining professional study with on-the-job learning. As your knowledge and confidence develop, you’ll take on more complex work, contribute to projects and build your expertise as a trusted advisor.

If you’re AAT Level 4 qualified, you will be eligible for exemptions, otherwise we ask for all trainees to complete the full ACA/CTA syllabus. We believe that studying alongside a cohort gives you the best chance of exam success.

Your growthdoesn't just come from exams. It comes from valuable work experience and real-world learning.

You’ll help multinational businesses manage their international tax arrangements and ensure transactions between countries are fair and compliant.
