Assistant Tax Advisor Review

In my role i am usually the first reviewer/preparer on client workbooks. I work on tax audits as well as multiple engagements in relation to tax compliance, such as tax computations, tax strategies etc. I also work on a project management engagement which requires the UK to be the central hub of a 40+ country wide engagement

Since i arrived at EY i have certainly learnt multiple skills such as communication skills when talking internally as well as externally to clients. and i have also learnt how to manage my time effectively across multiple engagements. It has built on my existing skills such as excel and maths

I enjoy my programme to the extent that i don't mind coming into work everyday. Now, this might sound negative but it is certainty not the case as i am very happy with my apprenticeship and the people i work with, i just think its quite hard to say i enjoy work!

I think my programme is very well structured and organised. I know when to be in work and when im on training or out for college studying towards my qualification. There is always work available for me to help colleagues on even if i am in and out of the office a lot

My employer is very supportive and has very good processes in place. I have a line manager that i report to in the first instance as well as more senior members in the team who i would not think twice about approaching if i had a problem. When studying towards my qualification, i do feel the support from the dedicated professional qualifications team can lack sometimes

My training provider is vey helpful when i am studying towards my professional qualification. This includes giving me up to date materials both physically and online as well as having a 24/7 contact a tutor support which is very useful when you are no longer in the class room

Certain exams are tailored to the job i specifically work in so those exams help and, of course, the training provider teaches me those exams. So, in that context my training provider has benefitted me to my day to day role, but im not sure if theres much else they have taught me which i can take into my job

I am the lead social organiser for my team and we host events every month, which range from playing rounders in the summer to play crazy golf in the winter or even attending the local horse racing. As well as this, there are plenty of professional events which occur to get involved with

Yes

I would recommend EY to a friend because mainly the people and colleagues i work with truly are wonderful people. You always feel supported at EY and the people culture (which EY push heavily upon recruitment) right throughout the business is key for me to be able to work positively in the environment.

I think my advice would be to be yourself, which is quite generic advice but what i mean by it is people honestly are just themselves who you work with, no matter what grade or rank they are so if you're yourself you will fit straight into the culture
