About the Tax Graduate Programme
This is a chance to learn the industry inside out. Over three years, you’ll get hands-on experience on real projects, balance your work and your studies, and study towards a CTA or ATT/CTA qualification. With the support of BDO’s subject-matter experts, you’ll gain a range of personal, management, and commercial skills that take you from a graduate to a well-rounded professional. All you need to bring is inquisitiveness, a mind for problem-solving, and a hunger for knowledge. And after the programme, there’s a permanent role waiting for you.
This environment has been built to facilitate your development – from partner-led monthly workshops in our Tax Academy to the relationships you’ll build with your national tax trainee cohort. Discover beyond the ordinary – for your skills, your professional network, and your career.
