About the office
In September 2024, we will be moving from our current Harrogate office to a brand new office opening in Leeds.
Our Leeds team has clients reaching across the whole county, including a strong presence within Harrogate, Leeds and the wider Yorkshire region. The office provides advice to a range of clients, including: commercial/owner managed businesses, landed estates, private wealth, and the Not for Profit/Charities sector.
Qualifying is not just about passing your exams; gaining valuable work experience is so important.
You'll work in a friendly and progressive environment on corporation tax compliance, including preparation of corporation tax returns and computations, advising on payment dates, and dealing with all other administrative matters. You will get exposure to clients from different industries, ensuring an exciting and varied learning experience.
There’ll also be the opportunity to assist in tax advisory projects once you qualify and progress. As your understanding of taxation issues grows, so will the complexity of your workload.
You'll receive excellent training and support for your studies. We use first-class tuition centres and organise our own off-site trainee programmes. You’ll get to meet and socialise with trainees across all offices.
What you'll need
* 2:1 (expected or obtained) in any discipline,
* A minimum of 120 UCAS points in your A Levels (or equivalent), and
* A minimum of 6 (or B) in GCSE Maths and English Language (or equivalent).
About the qualification
We offer a three-year ATT/CTA training contract under a Level 7 apprenticeship, with a view to becoming a chartered tax adviser.
Studying as an apprentice won’t impact the time it takes you to complete the qualification; it just means that there's a defined study pathway in place to ensure you succeed. You'll gain technical knowledge and key skills to maximise your potential in the role.
