Absolutely! We want this to be so much more than a tax job. We have regular local socials and twice yearly regional socials, based around fun activities or food! We also hold an annual full team off-site gathering, which includes a conference, teambuilding activities, an evening meal and overnight stay. There are also organised charity volunteering days and team members can attend to one each year in lieu of working.
When you take a tax trainee job with us, the firm pays for all your training and examinations.
As a graduate tax trainee, you’ll study towards the Chartered Tax Advisor, or ATT/CTA qualification. You’ll spend 20% of your time with Tolley Taxation, the leading tax training provider. Training will be in blocks of three to five days at a time. This may require you to stay overnight at times. You are also expected to do at least 10 hours of independent study per week in your own time – most trainees find they need to do more when revising for exams.
The Chartered Tax Advisor pathway (ATT/CTA) is a level seven qualification and takes three years to complete. See Tolley’s website for the current list of tax exams.
