- Liaising with clients and colleagues outside the team on client matters
- Speaking to and dealing with HMRC
- Joining client meetings and calls
As you progress in your role, you can expect to be given more responsibility, including dealing with all day-to-day requirements of a portfolio of clients (often being their first point of contact) and having the opportunity to assist on bespoke tax advisory projects.
You’ll receive support and guidance in all your tasks, as you gain exposure across the wider business and learn the different ways we support and engage with our clients.
We have clear progression routes, and there’s plenty of opportunity to take your career in the direction you desire at Moore Kingston Smith. In fact, many of our partners started our as trainees here and through hard work, commitment and drive have gone on to leadership roles.
