Join ‘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.

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.

- An existing, permanent right to live and work in the UK.
- A willingness to travel to client sites and other offices as required.

What we can offer you:
You’ll get structured training, professional qualifications and real client experience in a team where every voice is heard. We’ll support you to grow your technical knowledge, build commercial confidence and shape a career that feels like your own.
Learn through a mix of client work, structured training including paid study leave, time at college, mentoring and internal development programmes.
