About Our Client
On behalf of our client, a rapidly growing R&D company recognised as Norfolk Growth Business of the Year and nominated for several national tax awards, we are seeking ambitious and enthusiastic graduates to join their dynamic R&D Team.
The Role
As part of a skilled team, you will be responsible for writing comprehensive and technical R&D reports for submission to HMRC. This role is not finance or accountancy-based, but it requires a desire to train to become a Tax Advisor.
