About the Internship Programme
Our paid Summer Internship Programme runs for six weeks, four days per week from Monday to Thursday.
The programme gives you the opportunity to experience the tax profession first-hand, working alongside experienced tax professionals and contributing to real client assignments.
Tax is constantly evolving, and the work we undertake helps clients understand and manage their tax affairs while making significant business and commercial decisions.
Throughout your internship, you will be supported by a dedicated buddy and mentor, helping to ensure your experience is productive, engaging and gives you a genuine insight into what a career with K3 Tax Advisory could look like.
