Tax School Leaver - London - September 2027

About Team Tax

Join Team Tax: a straight-talking, collaborative team built for people who want to make an impact from day one. This is a place to learn fast, contribute early, and keep moving forward.

Tax is changing quickly—from AI and global regulation to sustainability, private wealth, and international growth. The decisions our clients make today have real consequences, and the work you’ll do here genuinely matters.

Our tax school/college leaver apprenticeship programme is your gateway to a future with opportunities and new experiences. You’ll build technical expertise, work directly with clients, and turn complex tax rules into clear, practical advice. You won’t do it alone—collaboration is how we work, and you’ll learn from people who understand the realities of balancing client work, study, and exams.

Specialist Areas

Specialist areas include VAT/indirect tax, employer solutions, private client services, corporate tax, innovation reliefs, transfer pricing, capital allowances, and tax investigations. Based on the available roles in this location, the only areas we have available are:

• Corporate Tax
• Private Client Services
• VAT

What You’ll Be Doing

• Working directly with clients and colleagues on both compliance and advisory work.
• Building expertise across UK and international tax, supported by a globally connected team.
• Developing the confidence, judgement, and technical skills to become a trusted business adviser.
• Using digital tools to work smarter and add more value for clients.

What We’re Looking For

We’re looking for people who are curious, motivated, and ready to get involved. You don’t need to have studied tax before—we’ll provide the training, support, and experience to build your career.

What We Can Offer You
