We are looking for someone who is willing to get involved, and who is keen to learn and develop – the team will support you in gaining market knowledge, skills, and technical expertise to help build your career.

At BDO we are proud of our Workable hybrid working framework – we have core team days, and an expectation that team members will be at our Baker Street hub for at least 2 days a week, but otherwise you will have substantial freedom to plan your balance of time in the office and time at home.

You will be joining one of the largest Professional Services tax teams in London. We serve a wide variety of clients within the sector, including law firms, consultants, recruiters, architects and property services firms, as well as financial services businesses and private equity firms.
