KPMG 2026 Tax Graduate Programme

KPMG
Bristol City
Part time

KPMG in the UK is part of a global organisation of independent firms that offers Audit, Consulting, Tax & Law and Technology services. Through the talent of over 16,000 people, we turn insights into opportunities, making a positive difference for businesses, people and communities.

What is Tax at KPMG?

Tax is a high-profile discipline and one which is constantly changing. Think about ever-increasing digitisation, enhanced regulation and the importance of the Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) agenda. At KPMG, we have a full understanding of these developments, allowing us to give timely and accurate advice and information to clients. That way, companies can navigate the complex terrain and stay compliant.

We collaborate with organisations of all shapes and sizes - whether that's to get ahead of complex compliance requirements, drive process and cash efficiencies, or rethink the way their in-house functions operate to drive better value.

Tax Graduate Programme

KPMG's Tax practice has a wide-ranging remit, which means you could be tackling a variety of challenges at the heart of client organisations. Our specialisms include International, Business and Indirect Taxes, where we support clients on transactions and in managing their domestic and global tax obligations, through People Taxes. Here, we advise on all aspects of employee reward and compliance for internationally mobile workforces, as well as supporting high-net-worth individuals and entrepreneurial families.

There are a broad range of career paths for ambitious graduates, where you'll have the opportunity to be at your best, building your network in an inclusive and diverse environment. You'll also have the opportunity to develop valuable technical skills with the support of senior leaders, engagement leaders, peers and our broader Tax community.

Training and Benefits

Over the three-year programme you'll combine client delivery and study towards a professional qualification - the ACA, or CA equivalent in Scotland.

We offer a competitive salary and a host of great benefits too, including 25 days' holiday, study leave and a day off on your birthday. What's more, each year 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.

Seeing the whole picture

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. See the specific programme page on our Careers Portal for entry requirements and our 'Applying to KPMG' section for detailed application guidance.
