Full Job Description

Our Private Client Tax Services team helps individuals from all walks of life with their tax issues. With over 6,000 private tax clients and 1,500 trusts, our team's client base is incredibly diverse, including high-net-worth families and individuals, as well as entrepreneurs, business owners and family businesses.

The US/UK tax team focusses on US connected individuals and offers both US and UK compliance and cross-border advisory services.

You'll be joining a growing team that supports clients to meet their US and UK tax compliance obligations and liaises with HMRC and the IRS on their behalf. This can include preparing their tax returns, repayment claims, computations, accounts and dealing with any correspondence from HMRC or the IRS.

What will you be doing?

As part of our Private Client Tax Team you will combine hands on practical experience which could be advising on tax efficient strategies or helping clients with financial planning whilst studying.

Progression within this team is fast, with responsibility from an early stage. By the second year you'll be taking on a more senior role with smaller clients and helping to supervise the new intake of trainees and as your experience grows, you may have opportunities to experience other assignments such as control reviews and due diligence projects.

During your training contract you will study towards the US Enrolled Agent (EA) qualification and Association of Taxation Technicians (ATT). There may also be an opportunity to progress towards the Chartered Tax Advisor (CTA) qualification.

Your responsibilities will include:

  • Liaising with clients and third parties to obtain necessary information

  • Preparation of basic tax returns or repayment claim forms

  • Advising clients of their forthcoming tax liabilities and tax matters affecting them


  • Assisting in the preparation of tax advice for clients including technical tax research, strategic planning and drafting of reports for clients

  • Dealing with correspondence from clients, HMRC, IRS and other third parties. This can be via letter, email or telephone.

    Be committed and motivated to studying towards the Enrolled Agent (US Tax qualification) and Associate of Taxation Technician (ATT)

  • Have obtained or be predicted a minimum 2:2 degree, in any discipline

  • 112 UCAS points (or equivalent) in your top three A-levels (excluding General Studies)

  • GCSE English Language and Maths (or equivalent) at a minimum of grade 5


  • Learning & Development

    You'll be supported in completing your qualification; gaining the finance knowledge, accountancy skills and real-world business experience to jumpstart your career in accountancy, tax and business advisory. And you won't do it alone - you'll be joining as part of a cohort with your own personal support network, including a buddy to offer first-hand experience. Your qualification training will be supported by a leading UK training provider, and you'll be given the space and time to study whilst developing a variety of skills to become a well-rounded advisor. You'll receive guidance and support each step of the way by our dedicated Learning & Development team and training contact for your department to make sure you have everything you need to realise your potential from day one.
