Audit Graduate Programme

Job description What is Tax at KPMG?

Our Tax practice collaborates with all kinds of organisations and businesses of different sizes, across a wide range of specialisms. We also advise on all aspects of employee reward and support high‑net‑worth individuals and entrepreneurial families too.

As you'd expect, there is rapid technological innovation and increased regulation in this area, with government trying to drive greater transparency and use tax as an incentive to achieve environmental and social targets. That means you're entering a world that is fast‑moving, challenging and exciting.

Tax offers you the opportunity to work on a variety of high‑profile projects whilst building a career that could take many different routes. Part of a team that works collaboratively with clients, you will help them navigate complex tax policy landscapes and stay compliant with regulation, by paying the right tax at the right time. You will also tackle challenges at the heart of client organisations and develop a broad understanding of how businesses operate, whilst you develop valuable technical skills and professional qualifications.

On this programme, you'll study towards the AAT Levels 3 and 4, plus the Level 7 ACA professional qualification or CA equivalent in Scotland. These qualifications are fully funded by KPMG and are supported by an extensive programme of internal training spanning both personal and professional development.

We offer an annual salary of £25,500 to £28,000, and a host of great benefits too, including 25 days' holiday, study leave and a day off on your birthday. What's more, you can take up to six days of time off to take part in volunteering initiatives.

Our firm's hybrid working model balances the flexibility of working from home with the importance of collaborating and learning in our offices or at client sites. We trust our people to be where they need to be, with our colleagues working together in person as often as needed. You'll be empowered by the technology that supports us to work flexibly across our collaborative office spaces.

As part of the Tax team, you will be building friendships and shared experiences, innovating, and learning together. KPMG is a place where you can be yourself and give your best - whoever you are and whatever your background. We look at more than just your academic results and will also consider your strengths, values and motivations. If you're collaborative and good with people, that can be just as important as your ability to pick up key technical skills.
