APPLY NOW for one of our exciting opportunities!
Our specialist tax training, delivered by leading provider Tolley Tax Training, offers you the chance to follow the ATT-CTA tax pathway programme delivered via a Level 7 apprenticeship standard.
Joining our teams in corporate tax, private client tax or VAT, you’ll get career-building exposure to all areas of tax compliance work and advisory work.
The ATT and CTA tuition is delivered by Tolley Tax Training where you will attend block tuition courses where you can focus on your studies away from the office.
Our tax teams enjoy diverse and varied roles as they provide tailored taxation planning and advisory services to clients, including large corporate groups, family businesses and individuals.
The tax departments (corporate, private client and VAT) work alongside partners and managers in our other departments providing the specialist in-depth advice required for the ever-increasing complexity of tax law dealing with HMRC administration and enquiries.
As well as studying throughout your time as a trainee, you’ll also gain invaluable experience as a tax advisor, working with a wide variety of organisations or individuals, interpreting complex legislation and delivering solutions in a way that the client understands.
Throughout, you’ll have lots of opportunities to use and grow your research and investigative skills by providing the specialist in-depth advice required for the ever-increasing complexity of tax law.
Life as a trainee is intensive and challenging but, if you are dedicated and focused, can deliver quality work and impress clients with high levels of service, the rewards are exceptional.
You’ll be assigned a buddy before you start and will be supported by a manager who will help fulfil your potential and keep you on track. Your buddy will be someone who has recently been where you are, so they will understand your first day nerves, can answer any questions you have and teach you the basics of your role.
Our training provider will also assign you with a mentor to ensure you stay on track and review your progress throughout.
Here at PKF Francis Clark, you’ll find a culture of friendliness and support and you’ll feel welcome from day one. There’s a sense of family here, and we love to have fun and let our hair down too. We will support you and give you the building blocks to succeed and progress your career. And when you need help or advice, no issue is too small. We’ll be there.
