Tax Advisor Review

My day to day role varies. I work in Tax in the London Office and I can help clients with their documentation or even give advice or planning to clients. The work varies quite a lot which helps you learn more broadly.

I have learnt lots of new skills. My time management has mostly improved as sometimes you have to handle multiple deadlines/projects at once and manage your time to meet those deadlines and prioritise certain work over other work. I also have internal training which helps me learn and have a load of online web-based learning available.

I enjoy my programme to a very wide extent as I study towards my ACA qualification whilst being in a big four workplace exposed to large clients and projects. The experience is amazing and a great way to kick start a financial career.

I feel very valued by EY overall. Whenever I complete work, the manager always discussed feedback with me and shares their thoughts on the work.

The programme is structured very well. I was given my exams dates as soon as I joined for the next year with all the study leave and college dates included. Training is always organised and runs perfectly.

I receive massive support from my training provider. During college the support was great as I could ask any questions or topics I did not understand. When in the office, I have the tutor's email and also a live chat which is available on their website.

I receive a lot of support from EY. The work-life balance is great support for my life and I have a counsellor too which I can discuss any concerns whether its work related or personal. I feel comfortable speaking to any of my managers regarding this too and the attitude to support people seems endless.

The salary for a school leaver is very competitive and it meets my costs quite well.

There are lots of opportunities to be involved in at EY. There are various networks, clubs, sports, and events constantly happening. There is also an EY Foundation which you can volunteer in and help certain backgrounds. One of the programmes is called 'Smart Futures' and involves low-earning backgrounds to take place in work experience at EY and you become their buddy or mentor.

Yes

I would recommend EY to a friend as it is a fantastic place to start your career as you are paid a competitive salary and also study your ICAEW ACA qualification. EY is also a great place to work for that is loaded with opportunities around the globe.

I would advise to others to try your hardest and be yourself. EY is all about people, so make sure you be yourself.
