About the Role
As a Graduate Trainee Tax Assistant (CIOT) you’ll gain hands-on experience across a wide range of tax clients from owner-managed businesses to specialist sectors such as healthcare and not-for-profit organisations. Supported by your manager, a dedicated buddy, and our structured onboarding process, you’ll quickly develop confidence and capability in your role.
What You’ll Be Doing

1) Tax compliance (the essentials)
- Supporting the preparation of tax returns and related compliance tasks (with review and training).
- Collecting and organising client information, keeping records complete and consistent.
- Learning how deadlines, checklists and review processes work in practice.
2) MTD & digital tax workflow
- Helping clients and the team work with digital records and MTD-related processes.
- Using and improving templates/checklists so work is consistent and efficient.
- Spotting gaps in client data early to avoid January chaos.
3) AI & IT in a practical way
- Using AI tools to support drafting, summarising, and sense-checking with human review .
- Helping improve the way we use technology across the tax workflow.
- Getting involved in small internal “process improvement” projects.
About You
You’ll be a great fit if you:
- Have a degree or similar (any discipline considered — but finance, economics, maths, business, data, or similar is a bonus).
- Are highly organised, detail-focused, and eager to learn.
- Have strong communication and interpersonal skills.
- Are comfortable working with technology and online accounting tools.
- Want to make a difference as part of a supportive, growing firm.
Nice-to-have (not essential)
