Tax Programme; Autumn

Go one better than Four.

The industry is set to change. It's time to get with a new kind of programme. One that leaves traditional apprenticeship schemes behind. From the off, you'll see a future you want to stay for. Because we don't just recruit exceptional school leaver talent. We turn trainees into leaders. We're talking bigger opportunities, faster growth, and an experience designed to accelerate your career from the start.

We are investing £500m in digital transformation.

Our leading AI tools drive efficiencies, handling time-consuming manual tasks, which means you can focus on higher-value work, faster. You'll get experience and training to progress rapidly, earlier than apprentices ever have before.

Powered by AI, you will spend more time on detailed analysis, professional judgement and the insights that genuinely add value for clients. You'll be the one in control, reviewing and challenging the quality of AI inputs and outputs to ensure our clients continue to receive an exceptional service.

We're in the business of people, not just numbers. AI helps us work more efficiently, but it's our people who bring judgement, curiosity and care to every client relationship. As a trainee, you'll learn to use these tools while developing the human skills that will set you apart throughout your career.

Tax is about helping people and organisations navigate one of the most complex legislative landscapes. As a tax professional, you'll advise on the application of the law, identify risks and pursue opportunities, and make sure your client remains compliant with ever-changing rules - work that companies, individuals, public bodies, and the wider economy all rely on. Gaining experience across multiple tax teams, you'll gain real exposure to a wide range of clients and specialisms, building a broad knowledge base across the service line.

As a tax professional you will:

• Work with a variety of clients, from household names to innovative start-ups. Build strong client relationships, understand how each business and their owners operate and develop your technical expertise in tax
• Work hands-on from day one: digging into real client data, researching technical positions, and working out the right answer under current tax rules.
• Tackle real problems, working out how tax rules apply to different transactions and scenarios and helping clients navigate change with confidence.
• Understand how businesses and their owners really do business - exploring how they structure their affairs and how tax shapes decisions around investment, people, strategy, risk, and growth.
• Study for a relevant professional qualification (typically ACA, ICAS, CFAB, ATT, CTA, ACCA, CIMA or DTS) which will complement your technical knowledge, and prepare you for future career success
