Assistant Tax Advisor Review

Job title - Assistant Tax Advisor Daily tasks - Provide clients with the best tax advice in relation to asset managers, VAT clients, business structuring and compliance work. I interact with a variety of people around the business, ranging from Partners to first year intake. I am able to speak to clients and help them directly.

I am currently studying towards an ACA qualification and having time in the office is a great way to expose myself and develop new skill such as client speaking skills, analytical and problem solving skills as clients always have different issues that need addressing. We also have internal training to aid our development and provide us with relevant topical news.

I really enjoy the programme, the structure is very flexible and planned out. The various teams you work with are great and always provide help where needed. The culture pushes the teams to learn, develop, grow, communicate with other teams to help provide the best client service. This beats my expectations.

I believe I feel very valuable to the firm. the work we do is very client related and feels as though it makes a difference to the clients and the firm. My managers recognise this and use this to motivate us to produce the best client service. I have been given feedback commenting on how valuable the work I have done is.

The programme definitely provides a lot of support through training, counsellors, buddys, managers and so on. There is a huge network and vast amount of resources available to help everyone.

We receive as much support as we need, there is always someone to speak to and appeal to. Counsellors especially, are very open and understanding of any issues we may have. I feel I can speak to many people about any issues I am having and they will be willing to help.

The teams to support us are very helpful and polite, they really do feel like they are on our side and go out of their way to do more. They are available quite a lot and reply fast.

I believe the salary is sufficient especially if you jus came out of college, however the benefits could be better and the website could be formatted in a way that is easier for everyone to use, (i.e. more user friendly)

The company promotes events outside of work, just recently we had a trek to a mountain, there are many volunteer works going on and events / classes.
