Join our Tax Insight programme and learn about working collaboratively with organisations of all shapes and sizes, helping them to navigate complex tax policy landscapes, and stay compliant with regulation by paying the right tax at the right time
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, other Black or Mixed Black ethnic groups. 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.
The programme will be offered to students who are in their penultimate year of university. This programme has been purposefully designed as a step towards a possible Graduate offer if you’re successful on the programme. This offer would only be for the same location and business area as that you completed your Talent Insight Programme in. As such, please ensure you have a commitment to the location and business area that you apply to.
Join us and discover a world of exciting career opportunities.
