• Liaising with HMRC about tax returns and tax reliefs.
• Generating new ideas, solutions and spotting opportunities to enhance our client offering.
• Studying for your ATT/CTA or ACA/CTA joint qualifications and keeping up to date with changes to legislation and the impact they may have on our clients.
• Supporting and coaching other trainees as you progress - going on to own a small portfolio of clients.
• We’ll make sure you’re challenged and supported every step of the way with your career development.
