Job description

As a constantly changing and increasingly high profile field, tax can offer a surprisingly broad range of career paths to ambitious graduates. As part of a dynamic and successful area of our business, our Tax Teams work with a wide range of organisations and individuals, helping them to implement the tax approaches that best suit their commercial needs within domestic and international legal and regulatory requirements.

Taxation is a fast moving field where our advice can prove invaluable to clients. This is partly because complex issues can be open to interpretation, and partly due to ever-changing legislation that can have major implications for our clients. Our job is to keep up with those developments, advising clients of new risks and opportunities that come up.

We offer advice to help our clients manage tax issues as digital transforms business models and prompts significant changes to taxation policy. Across the spectrum of company and personal tax issues we offer holistic advice spanning international tax, transfer pricing, VAT and deal advisory tax along with other tax service lines. Our People Services team advise on all aspects of employee reward, as well as managing tax issues for a global workforce, whist our Private Client teams support high net worth individuals and entrepreneurial families manage their tax affairs and preserve their legacies.

With such a wide-ranging remit, Tax can offer a variety of challenging and high profile projects as part of a stimulating graduate career – and our programme is an excellent foundation for that. Tackling challenges at the heart of client organisations, you’ll develop a broad commercial understanding whilst gaining valuable technical skills and professional qualifications.

Training and Development:

The training, development and regulation of our professionals is critical to the future success of our business which is why our people are trained to become experts in their field and supported to study for a professional qualification. All our new tax graduate entrants study for either the ICAEW CFAB qualification and CTA or the equivalent accountancy foundation with ICAS and CTA (Scottish offices only).

Empowered Programme

The Empowered programme is KPMG’s blended approach to professional qualification training where the onus is on you to take ownership of your studies and help shape your learning.

The programme uses innovative technology and is delivered via a blend of Online Classroom Live and recorded courses in addition to in-centre classroom courses. It also has wrap-around support which consists of dedicated professional coaches, online portal content and live and recorded additional study sessions which means there is a form of support for your every need. This blended approach enables you to study and learn the content at a pace suited to your learning style, but ensures all are at the right technical level prior to stepping into revision elements so you can focus on your exam technique before the exam. The structure of the programme spreads your examinations over the lifetime of the training contract so that you are able to build up your technical knowledge, and can gradually apply what you are learning in training to your workplace experience.
