6.9/10

1. Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:

I prepare tax returns for expats and work alongside a client team to provide a service to assignees. This includes phoning, faxing and emailing companys, assignees and HMRC. I have worked on a number of projects within my team which has allowed me to vary my work pattern and not focus soley on tax returns.
