Job description

The Firm:

An International accounting firm with luxury modern offices in Newcastle city centre is looking for a bright, enthusiastic, and business-minded individual who is interested in developing a career in the field of tax. With full training, support towards qualifications, and a long-term career in the profession, this is an amazing opportunity for a young professional to embark upon a tax career.

The Brief:

Joining a large yet very friendly and supportive team of individuals who hold both strong levels of expertise and tax knowledge, you will find yourself in an incredibly supportive and encouraging environment for you to thrive. The pace is fast, work is collaborative, and no two days are the same. If you are good with numbers, enjoy building lasting relationships with people, and would relish the chance to develop your skills in tax, this might just be perfect for you.

The Role:

As a Private Client Tax Associate, you will support the team to manage a diverse portfolio of clients, preparing their tax returns, and ensuring everything with their tax affairs is up to date with current tax laws. The role involves building relationships with your clients as much as it does calculating numbers and understanding tax guidance. You will regularly chase information from your clients, liaise with the HMRC on their behalf, and deal with their day-to-day queries.

Experience Required:

1. Applicants will need to demonstrate the following:
2. An interest in a career in tax
3. Strong communicator, confident to develop new relationships both on teams, phone, email, and face to face
4. The ability to use your own initiative and work effectively alone as well as part of a wider team
5. Professional and self-assured in your approach
6. Computer literacy and being willing to learn new skills as the move towards digital working accelerates
7. Good attention to detail.

You must also hold:

1. An Undergraduate degree in any discipline at 2:2 or above
2. Willing to study towards a professional qualification (ATT)
3. Eligible to work in the UK

Please note this role is open to those without any prior tax experience, but you must satisfy the above criteria to be considered.

Benefits:

A super opportunity where no prior experience is required to embark upon a career in tax. An international accounting firm with a wide and extensive list of benefits alongside a salary at the higher end of the market and fully-funded training towards a tax qualification.

The firm offers hybrid working; however, there will be a huge benefit and expectation for you to base yourself in the office while you are learning to ensure you receive the best training to support your development. With your whole career ahead of you, there will be plenty of time for you to work from home; however, the flexibility is provided if required.
