Tax

Solving complex challenges

Working in Tax takes much more than just knowing the law and technical regulations. It’s about finding the answers to questions that have never been asked before. It means working with your colleagues to develop bespoke solutions that meet your clients’ objectives and needs. Every business is different, so every day offers a new challenge.

You’ll get the opportunity to exercise the creative side of your brain. If your strength is solving problems and you like working in a constantly evolving business environment, Tax may be for you. Clients will turn to you to help them understand how the way they run their business affects the tax they pay. You’ll need to analyse and interpret all kinds of information, using your research strengths to keep on top of the changing tax environment. Combine this with your understanding of your client’s business, and you can really make a difference.

You’ll have the opportunity to work with specialists in an environment where you can develop yourself and pursue professional qualifications.

Our Tax programmes all exist to help you help our clients meet all the tax requirements related to their industry, business activities and operating locations in the most financially efficient way. We offer four specialist areas to choose from in Direct Tax, Indirect Tax, Human Capital and Transfer Pricing.

What are we looking for?

We’re much more interested in the kind of person you are and the things you’re naturally good at than what degree you studied at university. So we want you to be yourself and show us what you’ve got.

Academic requirements

The qualifications we usually expect for entry to our Tax programmes are:

• Grade B or above for GCSE Mathematics and English Language
• 300 UCAS points or equivalent (excluding General Studies)
