Team Tax

straight-talking, collaborative and built for people who want to make an impact from day one. This is a place to learn fast, contribute early and keep moving forward.

Tax is changing fast. From AI and global regulation to sustainability, private wealth and international growth, the decisions our clients make today have real consequences. That means the work you'll do here actually matters.

Join our tax team on a 12-month paid placement as part of your sandwich degree course and gain practical experience working with real clients on real challenges.

You'll build technical expertise and turn complex tax rules into clear, practical advice.

You won't do it alone. In Team Tax, collaboration is just how we work. You'll learn from people who've been where you are.. They'll help you to build confidence, ask questions and deliver your best.

Our specialist areas include VAT/indirect tax, employer solutions, private client services, corporate tax, innovation reliefs, transfer pricing, capital allowances and tax investigations, so there's plenty of room to find where you fit.

• Using digital tools to work smarter and add more value for our clients.

What we're looking for:

We're looking for under-graduates who are curious, motivated and ready to get involved. You don't need to have studied tax before - we'll give you the training, support and experience to build your career from day one.

To be considered, you'll need:

• A minimum of 112 UCAS points across 3 A levels (or equivalent level 3 qualification), or 104 UCAS points across four Scottish Highers/Advanced Highers or an Irish Leaving Certificate (Higher Level).
