From a sixth form student to Tax Advisor at EY

I studied Mathematics, Economics, and Geography at A-Level. Through this diverse range of subjects, I was able to gain a broader understanding of various aspects of life that extend beyond the classroom. Moreover, I had the opportunity to participate in the Sutton Trust Banking and Finance Programme with the London School of Economics. This programme opened many doors for me to connect with inspiring industry experts and learn about the inner workings of the corporate world first-hand. The insightful experiences I gained through the programme motivated me to pursue a career in Tax and Finance, and I am now delighted to have found a home at EY, where I can channel my interests into a fulfilling and rewarding career path.

Solving Employment and Mobility Tax related issues.

My role as a Tax Advisor in Global Employment Taxes entails communicating with clients regarding their mobility related tax problems, preparing documents for the tax treatment and positions, as well as much more. Not only am I involved with tax issues but I also explore the immigration side of things. As a Tax Business Apprentice on a four year programme, I get the opportunity to be part of four different teams as I will rotate into a different team each year allowing me to broaden my skillset further.

Participating in exciting projects with supportive colleagues.

My favourite thing about the job definitely has to be the colleagues I work with. Everyone in the team is extremely supportive and is always willing to help out and answer as many questions as possible, creating a very supportive environment to work in on a day to day basis. With great exposure to new projects and opportunities, I am able to develop my skillset daily.

Be open to new opportunities and ask as many questions as possible!

No question is a silly question, therefore I encourage you to be curious, demonstrate your interest and ask questions.
