Tax Analyst Review

I am a tax analyst in one of the regional offices. My day to day role consists of a mixture of tax advisory and tax compliance work. This ranges from helping with creation of tax computations and assisting with various slides and presentations that aim to provide tax advice where appropriate for our clients.

There are many skills that I have learnt during my time in my apprenticeship. I am studying towards a combined ACA and CTA qualification. I have attended internal excel and powerpoint and branding courses. I have also attended a course about tax accounting, and been given software training that is relevant to the role.

I have really enjoyed the start of my programme. I have a great team around me who support me in both my studies and my day to day role. The variety of work I receive and am able to do is a great positive and means I am enjoying what I do.

My programme is fairly structure and organised. The company put on a two and a half weeks training induction to both the apprenticeship and the role. I am very supported in what I do, with both a coach and a people leader to guide me. I am given sufficient time to study for my qualifications.

My employer providers a lot of support during my programme. I am supported by the HR team, my appointed people leader, as well as my coach. They all provide support for both my studies and my day to day work. My team is very happy to provide any support when required.

I found that I received sufficient support from the training provider when working towards my qualifications. At times, I felt like it was difficult to contact them or get clear guidance on what is expected of me. Overall though, I would say they have provided enough support for what I need.

I have not yet completed my qualification through my training provider. I will be studying for a few more years before I receive these qualifications. In the future, I think my qualification will help me with my tax knowledge and with the level of advice that I can give to the clients.

There are many extra curricular activities to get involved in at the work place. I am a member of the company Netball team and regularly attend social events with the team and wider department. I also regularly go to the local accounting society events that are put on every few months.

Yes

I would recommend Deloitte to a friend, as the firm has provided a lot of support over the time I have been with them. The team has been very welcoming and provides a lot of support, both for my studies and working life. I am able to get involved in extra-curricular and social events when I would like to.

The tips or advice I would give to others applying to Deloitte are that you should do your research into the role and the apprenticeship. Be aware that you are expected to study hard and pass your exams, as well as performing well during the working day. It is a great place to work if you put the work in.
