Our clients offer us exclusive roles based on their previous experiences of working with us – this means that many of the roles we place candidates into are not available within the wider market. Our consultants are well recognised in the industry, with a reputation built on their adaptability in a constantly changing market and by constantly achieving and exceeding expectations. This expertise proves valuable when placing tax professionals who have recently completed their ATT or CTA exams.

We provide a quality, face-to-face consultative service, which allows us to gain an in-depth understanding of your experience and career-plans. Alongside our specialist sector knowledge, years of recruitment experience, proven interview techniques and in-depth knowledge of the market, this can really put you ahead of your peers.

ATT – Association of Tax Technicians.
Roles open to practitioners with the ATT qualification will often relate directly to technical experience the candidate has previously gained. However, at this relatively junior level, there is scope to rely on knowledge gained through the qualification enabling you to change disciplines – for example personal tax to expatriate tax, corporate tax to VAT. It’s even possible to move from accounts preparation and audit work to the tax sphere on qualifying. 

CTA – Chartered Tax Adviser
Most clients who are looking to recruit high calibre individuals will expect to see those who have passed their CTA. A key qualification for those who require a thorough foundation in tax, a newly qualified CTA will usually have between two and four years’ industry experience. Often the CTA is achieved after an ACA qualification. Achieving the CTA often results in the opportunity to progress from a compliance focused role to a more advisory position and often from a generalist background to a more specialist area, i.e.: Transactional Tax Adviser, Transfer Pricing Consultant or Tax Technical Adviser.

If a candidate has achieved both of these qualifications they become extremely desirable to the market. Well-renowned companies will look for both qualifications when considering Tax Advisers, Tax Accountants and Tax Consultants.
