Tax jobs in United Kingdom

Join a firm that's ambitious, growing and delivering on groundbreaking work. Expect a flexible, diverse working environment where your long-term career growth is assured.

We build our business by enabling high performance and progression. Whatever your role, we give you the support, management and development you need to achieve your full potential.

Our headquarters are in London, with eight offices across Asia, Europe and the Middle East. With over 25% of our people based outside the UK, there are plenty of opportunities overseas. Associates from all our offices can benefit from international secondments or attendance on one of our international development programmes.

To celebrate our great talent, both past and present, we have established our alumni programme. Through this programme we aim to build on those relationships formed while at Stephenson Harwood, whatever you are doing, wherever you are now or however long ago you worked in our offices. Our value of teamwork applies to our relationship with clients, as well as to all former employees who have helped Stephenson Harwood to become what it is today.

By registering with our alumni programme you can reconnect with friends, former colleagues, and fellow alumni, as well as stay in touch with firm news and events.

"As a firm with ambitious growth plans, we want to continue to attract the best possible people. To achieve this it is critical that our employer brand reflects what we offer."

We now have a brand which much better reflects us as an employer and the opportunities we offer the people who choose to join us.

Our starting point was hearing from some of our existing employees. It was particularly pleasing that they confirmed that what we offer is something unusual in the market - a balance between challenging opportunities, quality work, clients and colleagues and an entrepreneurial environment all within a firm which recognises that people have to be at the heart of our business."
