Tax - Private Client Graduate Trainee - Compliance - September 2025 - Poole
As a Trainee Tax Adviser, you will be supported on a varied development program, working across multiple specialisms to meet the full needs of our clients. You will work within the national private client tax team and alongside colleagues in the Financial Planning and Privately Owned Business teams to ensure all our clients' tax and financial planning needs are met. You will have the opportunity to work with colleagues in different tax disciplines in your first two years, including tax assurance, UK and international tax advisory, and trusts and estates, resulting in a broad understanding of the services we can offer our Private Clients. You'll ensure clients meet all their tax obligations by preparing and submitting tax returns and other necessary forms. You will also review clients' business structures and personal financial arrangements to deliver solutions for their financial goals and business needs. You'll gain vital client-facing experience in building ongoing relationships with clients and develop the ability to identify their tax and planning goals.

Develop a thorough understanding of income streams and the nature of the clients' financial affairs to complete the tax computation to the best of your ability.

Develop a thorough understanding of tax legislation and the nature of the clients' personal financial circumstances, both through your work and your studies.

Work on a variety of different advisory engagements across UK tax covering a range of technical areas.
Develop a strong technical knowledge of UK tax legislation, specifically across personal taxes.
Understand how UK and foreign income sources are taxed, as well as the different challenges facing our private client base in terms of managing tax risk, estate/succession planning, and the implications of being internationally mobile.
Work directly with our clients and begin developing relationships to deliver on repeat engagements.
Begin to manage advisory engagements, including planning, budgeting, and project managing different service lines.
