Everything you'd expect but more...
As a leading, independently-owned financial services firm, we offer unprecedented variety - not least because we're home to an accountancy practice, an investment management arm and a private bank. It's our breadth of
services that makes us unique in the industry. We work with a broad range of clients too - start-ups, multinationals, high-net-worth individuals, professional practices and non-profit organisations e.g. charities.
What does our Apprenticeship Programme look like?
We offer apprenticeships in three of our core business areas. These are structured training programmes that combine practical work experience, internal training and technical studies. As a Private Client Tax Apprentice, you'll study for the (ATT) Association of Tax Technicians qualification and on successful completion you will begin studying towards becoming a Chartered Tax Advisor (CTA).
What is Tax?
Tax is an unavoidable fact of life - it affects every person, company and organisation. Everyone wants to save money on their tax bill.
People employ tax firms to know tax law, save money, do all the calculations, the paperwork and explain what complex issues in simple terms. A tax role has two main parts:
Compliance - the nitty gritty of tax, the paperwork. One key compliance job is to complete your client's tax return according to the current regulations and file it on time.
Tax Consultancy - is the problem-solving side of the tax business. Tax advisors make sure their clients' finances are tax-efficient.
