About the programme
Our EY Frank Hirth business area gives you an opportunity to explore your preferences as you progress through a range of unique and important tax trainings. This is an extremely collaborative workplace that supports you in delivering connected compliance and advisory services for a range of clients. From day one, you’ll become the main contact for our clients – an opportunity many at other firms wait years to enjoy. These clients are mainly private and require your help in managing risk and navigating changing tax positions. What’s in it for you? A chance to join a market leader in tax support, global mobility that will push you to reinvent your perspective, and an agile learning environment built around you.
What will you be doing?
- Specialising in either UK Tax or a dual handler (UK/US Tax) role depending on your preference.
- In your specialist area, working with start-up companies, large corporations and high-profile individuals.
- Receiving on-the-job learning, working closely with other tax assistants and tax managers.
- Gaining practical experience in different areas of tax through complex client work.
How is it structured?
Join us on this graduate programme and you’ll work towards an Association of Taxation Technicians (ATT) qualification and potentially the Chartered Tax Adviser (CTA) accreditation.
We'll provide you with an extensive induction plan during your first six weeks, continuous training, team building exercises, a careers counsellor and a network of mentors who will help you to reach your potential. You'll can also work with local and international clients on their complex tax needs.
