Tax Apprentice Review

I complete tax returns for vulnerable clients and meet harsh deadlines set by HMRC. I also complete terms of business and other housekeeping jobs to keep up with the security level. I email internal clients to find information on my clients as they are the client contact.

I have learnt lots of new skills including writing more professional emails and understanding Tax related vocabulary. I have also learnt great team work skills such as effective communication and time management skills.

I have enjoyed getting to know my team as well as developing my knowledge. I love that I have lots of mentors around me to help me with my studies and to teach me the day to day work.

The apprenticeship provider is often confusing on what we need to do and don't state things out clearly such as deadlines. The lectures are often 6 hours long and hard to focus on.

I receive lots of support from lots of people. I have monthly 1 2 1 meetings with my manager where she gives me an opportunity to talk about how everything is going and asks if I need any help. I also have a 1 2 1 with the manager of Apprentices to check up on everything.

I get a lecture every week when I have an exam to study for however they are rushed and a lot of information at once. The steps are not easy to follow and the 1 2 1 meeting every 3 months is very difficult to arrange.

It helps me understand the work I am doing by teaching me all of the rules and laws as well as the terminology used.

My team often has social activities and lunches. I also have some volunteering days and can join professional networking events.

They are a great employer with amazing benefits and look after their employees. They help me to progress in my career and balance my life at the same time. I have flexible hours and working to make sure it suits me too. They have their employees best interests in mind.

Don't be scared to ask questions in the interviews or beforehand to make sure you are happy with the role and what is expected.
