BR supports flexible working (BRighter working) and aims to allow you to balance your life with the needs of colleagues and the high expectations of our clients.
Our values are our motivations
We have four key values, collaborative, authentic, respect and dynamic and these values are at the heart of everything we do. We are looking for people who also believe in these drivers as we work together to achieve success for both our colleagues and our clients alike.
The role

Our services include; Personal Tax Compliance and Planning, Non-UK Domiciliaries, Trusts & Estates, Entrepreneurs / OMB, Transactions and Dispute Resolution.
A typical day as an Associate at Blick Rothenberg is varied but always consists of working within a team, providing support to managers, senior managers and partners within the Private Client department. There will be early responsibility as you work with a wide range of clients including high net worth individuals, trusts, and entrepreneurs. The role will involve assisting with clients’ tax affairs on a daily basis, working with the partners, directors and senior managers on UK and international tax advisory projects, attending client meetings and conference calls with senior team members. The role will therefore suit an ambitious candidate with a desire to further their education with a professional qualification whilst receiving on the job training with a top London practice.
Studying the professional examinations
Our Associates attend integrated link courses run by a leading financial training company in London to prepare them for their professional examinations. The courses combine periods of full time study and progress examinations with a home study element. The tutors liaise with us on a regular basis, allowing us to maintain an active interest in performance. Successful candidates will be supported throughout their professional studies towards the Association of Taxation Technicians (ATT) qualification and achieving Chartered Taxation Advisor (CTA) status.
We pay for all courses, exam fees and study leave for first sittings. The company’s commitment to our candidates’ development shows in the consistently high pass rates our students achieve in the examinations. This is something we are very proud of. Our success lies first in the process of selection and then in providing the best possible tuition, both in practical and theoretical terms.
What can we offer you?
When you join Blick Rothenberg as an early careers professional, you gain much more than a qualification. You join the Blick Rothenberg culture and way of life.
