• Helping to prepare tax advice and technical responses to internal and client queries
• Contributing to tax planning ideas and helping prepare updates for clients and colleagues

• ATT or CTA qualification is an advantage, but candidates qualified by experience are welcome
• Willingness to undertake detailed technical research and work to deadlines
• A proactive approach, strong communication skills and attention to detail
• Interest in developing corporate and advisory tax experience
• US tax experience is helpful but not essential

What is on offer

• A supportive, friendly firm that values learning and development
• Exposure to broad UK tax work and the opportunity to gain US tax experience with full training
• Varied and interesting advisory work alongside compliance responsibilities
