Job description
Please note, we are now full for our Tax Black Heritage Talent Programme for those graduating in 2025. We will therefore only be accepting applications from those who graduate in 2023.
Our Tax experts are doing more than just advising individuals and businesses, they make a meaningful difference to society, by helping to solve some of the biggest challenges facing our country. The scale and breadth of tax implications is so wide-reaching, and at the same time, new regulations mean that this landscape is becoming increasingly complex. Our tax specialists work alongside clients to help them understand the intricacies of tax across the globe - from energy sector companies, to online food businesses, banks and high-net worth individuals. They support clients in complying with relevant regulations so they can operate responsibly, sustainably and ethically.
This programme is aimed primarily at students of Black heritage seeking an insight into a career in Tax. By Black heritage, we mean students who might identify as Black, African, Caribbean, Black British or Mixed/Multiple ethnic groups: White and Black Caribbean, White and Black African.
It's the perfect opportunity for you to learn more about our business and develop your professional skills.
During your Insight experience, you'll have the chance to meet people from our Tax teams who make KPMG an inspiring place to work and explore our variety of career opportunities available. Over three days you'll network with our colleagues, learn more about what we do and the meaningful difference we make to businesses and the communities we serve.
This programme is open to students who are due to graduate in 2023 or 2025, as well as those who have graduated already. Whilst on the programme, you'll have the opportunity to take an assessment, and if successful, you could secure a position on one of our 2023 Tax graduate programmes or 2024 Tax vacation programmes (depending on your graduation year).
Join us and discover a world of exciting career opportunities.
