helping our clients understand and manage complex tax matters. Whichever business Tax team you join, you will be given the opportunity to work closely with clients across all industries, on every aspect of their corporate tax affairs, solving their most complex challenges.

Global Investment & Innovation Incentives (Gi3

): our Innovation Tax team and Tax Depreciation team help companies access funding relating to Research and Development, patents and capital investment in real estate.

Indirect Taxes relate to every transaction involving goods and services. We work with our clients to help them manage these taxes. You could be involved in VAT or part of the Global Trade team dealing with business, legal, economic and market changes.

We partner with businesses to solve their most complex challenges related to how they pay their people, supporting areas such as payroll strategy design, compliance reviews, technology implementations, vendor selection, payroll technology implementation, payroll delivery and project management.

What skills and academic qualifications do I need?

You'll need to have obtained or be studying towards a minimum of 104 UCAS points (if gained after 2017 - or 206 if before) from your top 3 A-Levels.

What kind of work will I do?

Join our student programme within Tax Consulting and you'll get to work on the tax affairs of many companies across a range of industry sectors. We work with many of the world's largest and most influential businesses, from tech start-ups to public sector bodies; from FTSE 100 and Global 2000 multinational groups to charities. We're sure you'll recognise their names!


We also work with private clients of high net worth, including business owners, private equity firms or international clients. A role with us will involve a mix of reporting and advisory work. One day you could be researching and writing about tax-related topics, the next getting involved in pricing or deals. The diverse nature of our work means you may be advising the manager of a mobility programme or helping a business deal with tax authorities.


Often, our clients and colleagues will work overseas.

Where will I work?

Please note your final assessment and induction will also be in-person, to give you the opportunity to network and build relationships.
