Description

Want to start an exciting new career in Summer 2023? Do you have an interest in emerging technologies and how it is shaping the future? Can you imagine working with rapidly growing start-ups and scaleups in the tech sector?

Do you have a passion for technology, computer science or data?

Keen to continue studying and gain professional qualifications?

We are part of the Tech & High Growth team in Shoreditch, London, working together as a unit to put fast scaling companies in the best position to fly We see our clients' success as our success, and we are looking for people just as ambitious as us to join the THG family.

A bit about CP....

We are the fastest growing team within one of the fastest growing accountancy firms in the UK and we have the awards to prove it.

We were voted as the #No1 Accountancy firm to work for in the UK by the Best Companies awards 2021, along with a host of other awards as wellso what makes us so special?

Our THG R&D team is more like a family. We are currently 8-strong (and growing fast) and we take care of each other. We're building something special that will endure. A high-performance unit comprised of people from a wide range of backgrounds including, physicists, chemists and IT specialists. We place a huge focus on training and career development. In short, the family is doing fantastically well, by every measure.

We have growth aspirations to triple the size of the R&D family over the next 3 years. Our people-focussed, family-centric approach is central to that growth.

About the role...

The Government provides incentives to businesses of all stages (and in all sectors) to encourage them to innovate, ensuring the UK remains home to some of the world's best ideas.

In no sector is this relief more valuable than the scaling tech space, where businesses are racing to get an idea they've had to the market.

To do this, they have to burn a lot of time, effort - and cash, which has to come from somewhere.

On a day-to-day basis you'll do a variety of different things but a big focus of the job is meeting all sorts of companies (by videocall or possibly in person), talking with their technical/scientific staff to understand more about their R&D and working with the client's finance team to understand what costs can be attributed to the claim.

Ultimately, you'll be helping prepare reports to go to the Government explaining how and why the company qualifies is entitled to the incentive.

We'll have you meeting clients from day one and you'll get a ringside view of some of the most innovative developments happening in the UK.

You'll also develop your understanding of how R&D incentives claims interact with a companies' corporation tax affairs, as well as how they fit within the goal & purpose of the wider business as part of our Tech & High Growth team, which offers many other services to companies in this space.

We will provide you with a comprehensive training programme, which includes the option to study for a professionally-recognised qualification, the "Association of Tax Technicians" (ATT).
