LOOKING FOR A GRADUATE ROLE THAT ACTUALLY USES YOUR STEM BACKGROUND?

At CBTax, we’re not interested in churning out spreadsheets. We’re here to fuel UK innovation and we need sharp, curious minds like yours.
We’re one of the fastest-growing R&D tax consultancies in the UK & Ireland, and we’re hiring ambitious grads from science, engineering, maths, or tech backgrounds to join our elite R&D Technical team.
This is your chance to step into client-facing consulting, work with ground-breaking businesses, and translate cutting-edge innovation into high-impact tax claims.

WHAT YOU’LL BE DOING:

• Interview engineers, developers, scientists & founders about their latest innovations
• Break down complex technical processes into clear, compelling reports
• Work alongside tax and finance teams to prepare successful R&D claims
• Stay up to date with emerging technologies, HMRC guidance & innovation trends
• Learn how to consult, write, and influence—fast

Who This Role Is Perfect For:

• Recent or soon-to-be grads with a STEM degree (Science, Technology, Engineering, Maths)
• Clear communicators who can translate tech into human
• Analytical minds who love solving problems and asking smart questions
• People who want more than a desk job—this is consulting, not admin
