Tax Advisor Review

My day to day role consists of preparing letters and emails to clients around a variety of tac isssues and occassioanl going to meetings or having to call them. It also consists of me preparing tax returns and keeping track of all the admin side of the client work

I have developed my ability to build client relationships as well as building relationships at work. I have alse learnt how to balance working and studying at the same time. It has also opened my eyes to the world of tax and how it affects the country as a whole.

The programme itself is very enjoyable as i am involved in a variety of work and the responsobility that is given to me enables me to develop a lot faster as an individual. The studying and working at the same time aspect can be tough but the company and people around me are more than happy to support me in any way they can.

I feel very valued and do not feel like a simple number in the firm. For a first year school leaver i did not expect the amount of responsilbity and exposure of work that i have recieved and this definetely make me feel like my work is valued.

The programme is very well organised on the whole however the rotation aspect of the programme we have been kept in the dark a little which can cause a bit of confusion. The exam side is strcutured perfectly alongside work to ensure we can benefit from enough revision time outside of work.

We recieve a lot of focused support with our exams however on a one-to-one basis there hasnt been much support on how we are getting along with the apprenticeship. The support is always there if we need it but more regular catch ups with our touchpoint would be better as it would make us more aware of what stages we are at with the programme.

The support we recieve from our employer is excellent and they have a big emphasis on the idea that exams come first. When we have exams on we are given sufficient time to revise outside of work and our workload is checked up on to make sure we are not drowining in work during a stressful time

My salary more than meets my costs and is competitive with other companies offering the same programme which is nice to know. The only thing that may be missing about the package is a little help with travel as paying for the train from kent to london every day is something that takes up a large amount of my monthly wage.

There are laods of oppurtunities outside of work that our employer encourages us to take part in anf if they are relevent to work then sometimes they even expense the costs.

Yes

I have already reccommended Grant Thornton to my friends as it pays a very competitive salary and the culture helps young individuals thrive by giving them responsibility but ensures we are supported outside of work during exam season.

Simply be yourself as Grant Thornton will know if you will fit in and then if you are right for GT then they will help you to develop yourself and thrive within the company
