OPPORTUNITY DETAILS

Right now, we’re looking for university graduates wanting to start their career in personal tax as a trainee, studying towards the ATT/CTA qualification.

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 have the best chance to succeed. You’ll gain technical knowledge and key skills/behaviours to maximise your potential in the role.

WHO WE ARE

Saffery is a partner-led and people-focused firm of chartered accountants, tax and business advisers. Since 1855, we’ve built long-term relationships with our diverse, high-profile clients, across varied and specialised sectors. As a proud member of Nexia, a worldwide network of trusted member firms, we’ve got access to local insight on a global scale.
We pride ourselves on our informal and inclusive culture, building an environment where people can be themselves and enjoy challenging, interesting, rewarding careers.
When you work with Saffery, the well-respected accountancy firm where heritage meets ambition, you work with people who know your name. Who know you as a human being, not just a job title. Everyone belongs here. Always.

However, qualifying is not just about passing your exams; gaining valuable work experience is so important.
Personal tax professionals help individuals to pay the right amount of tax to keep them compliant - work dealing with tax returns and the reporting of tax to the Revenue authorities such as HMRC is called tax compliance.
You’ll work in a friendly and progressive team, involved in tasks such as preparing and filing tax returns, carrying out manual reconciliation of tax liabilities and liaising with clients over the phone or in person. The client base is varied and includes clients who are both domestic and international, so we guarantee an exciting and complex portfolio.
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, so it isn’t all just work, and you can have fun too.
