Assistant tax advisor Review

I am an assistant tax advisor in the international tax services department. I work on many projects at once and attend meetings with the internal keeps, prepare client decks and project manage.

I have passed the CFAB qualification and will go on to complete the ACA. I regularly attend tax training sessions and review latest updates. I have also developed personal skills when presenting.

I enjoy my company culture the most. The firm is a friendly environment and comfortable to work in. I would prefer to be given more responsibility.

I am often given value awards which I appreciate when I have worked long hours on a project to meet deadlines.

The programme is very structured. We have periods of work and at college, an induction week, training throughout and a large support network.

I would expect more time with the tutor in college i.e. at lunch or after class as most tutors do not stay longer than 5 minutes. They do however provide their email address if we have questions.

I have a counsellor who gives me a lot of support when handling work and study and life outside of work. I have different levels of support which make it accessible or if my manager is out of office I have other contacts.

The cost to travel to London and buy lunch etc take up a lot of my income. I think it was a good starting salary but would like a greater increase as we get more responsibility in the firm.

There are lots of company events and clubs. I have volunteered for different sports races and enjoyed myself. Most of the time when I am outside of work I tend to keep it that way
