Assistant Tax Advisor Review

On a day to day basis, my job requires attending internal meetings and project calls, as well as working on client deliverable projects.

I have learnt new skills, such as report writing and understanding the UK tax legislation. I've also developed existing skills such as communication and problem solving.

It's been quite enjoyable so far due to the connections I have made with other graduates on my programme and my team. However, there have been times when I'm required to work late, but that should be considered as part of the job.

EY has an internal student team that organises the programme and therefore it is well structured and any questions can be raised quickly.

The employer provides study leave for exams, but there is not much support from my team apart from that.

The training provider (BPP) provide college tuition towards the qualification. This is similar to a university / college class and it's easy to get the support you require from your tutor.

The qualification I take is an accounting qualification, but I work in the tax service line. Therefore, my qualification does little to help me in my role.

At Ey, there are many communities to get involved in. I, myself, am part of the cultural communities at EY.

Yes

Overall, EY is a good employer (especially for school leavers / graduates who are coming straight out of university), because it can prepare you well for other jobs once you complete your programme.

Be confident and be yourself
