Job description

Due to the expansion of the business, we are looking for professional, enthusiastic graduates to join our Research & Development (R&D) tax team on a full-time basis.

Working as part of a skilled team, you will write comprehensive and technical R&D reports on behalf of our clients for submission to HMRC. Please note, this is not a finance or accountancy based role.

You will research further aspects of R&D and innovation in our target sectors and stay up to date with any UK tax developments.

Their team is the company’s greatest asset and they have helped the business grow by over 300% in 4 years – teamwork is an essential skill along with excellent communication in order to blend in with this high achieving team.
