Fast Track Career Development into Advisory & Private Client Services
A leading international financial services group with its headquarters in Canary Wharf is expanding its tax and advisory division and is now offering an opportunity for driven individuals to join as part of its Junior Tax Associate Programme.
This is a commercially focused position designed for individuals who want to build a career within tax, advisory, and wealth structuring while gaining early exposure to real client work. The firm operates across private client services, corporate advisory, and international tax planning, supporting a portfolio that includes entrepreneurs, investors, family offices, and established businesses.

The OpportunityThis role sits within a collaborative advisory environment where tax is closely linked with investment strategy, wealth management, and corporate structuring. You will be based in a modern Canary Wharf office with exposure to multiple business units and senior stakeholders.
The programme is structured to accelerate your development through hands-on experience, mentoring, and continuous learning.
