We help our clients make the right decisions on all aspects of their tax with regards to their investments.

You’ll have the opportunity to work within one of the following teams:

Business Tax : It’s our job to help our clients understand and manage complex tax matters. Whichever business tax team you join, you will be given the opportunity to work closely with clients across all industries, on every aspect of their corporate tax affairs, solving their most complex challenges.

Global Investment & Innovation Incentives (Gi3): our Innovation Tax team and Tax Depreciation team help companies access funding and tax relief relating to Research and Development, patents and capital investment in real estate.

Transactions & Investment Funds Tax: We help our clients make strategic and commercial tax decisions, advising upon on all aspects of their investments. From setting up and operating fund structures, buying and selling businesses or property, and throughout the investment process, tax will be at the centre of any investments our clients make.

Global Employer Services: We help our clients deal with their workforce challenges, looking at incentives and rewards, as well as ensuring companies comply with international employment tax regulations.

Payroll and Workforce Management: We deliver, transform and disrupt across employer payroll and workforce management functions. We partner with businesses to solve their most complex challenges related to how they pay their people, supporting areas such as payroll strategy design, compliance reviews, technology implementations, vendor selection, payroll technology implementation, payroll delivery and project management.

Digital Innovation: We are a pioneering team committed to digitally transform Tax & Legal services for our clients. We use an AI-first approach for identifying opportunities, building innovative solutions, and embedding them into the business to deliver real impact for our clients and our people.

• We work with many of the world’s largest and most influential businesses, from tech start-ups to public sector bodies; from FTSE 100 and Global 2000 multinational groups to charities. We’re sure you’ll recognise their names!

Where will I work?

At Deloitte we recognise how important face-to-face interaction is for your development in a new role. We also understand that our people need flexibility, which is why we operate a hybrid system, with a combination of office and home working. If you’re in a client-facing role, you might be expected to attend client sites on certain days, while your meetings will be a mix of online and in-person events.

All our work spaces are accessible, however, if you require further flexibility due to a health condition or caring responsibilities, please discuss this with our team. You can find further information on our parent and carer policies here.

How will I develop?

We want our people to have worldclass practical experience coupled with the technical rigour and knowledge that comes from the right professional qualification.

We think the best experience is being immersed in client work, working alongside other team members, and learning the practical skills that will set you up for a successful career. That will be the initial focus whether you are a Graduate, an Industrial Placement, or a BrightStart, supported by internal training and support from coaches, people leaders, and your team.

We think this is vital and will set you up for success when we further support your development with a professional qualification, recognising that different roles across our business align to different pathways. These may include options such as joint or accelerated programmes leading to qualifications like Association of Taxation Technicians (ATT), Associate Chartered Accountant (ACA), Institute of Chartered Accountants of Scotland (ICAS) or Chartered Tax Adviser (CTA), as well as other more specialist routes focused on tax or technical expertise.
