lives better

Tax Trainee / Part qualified

Do you love helping business owners?

Our core mission is Making Lives Better. This is central to everything we do.

Preparing a tax return is one thing – but helping owners by giving them more time, helping them to grow their business, get that new house, take their family on that holiday of a lifetime, or help to show them that they can afford to take on a new employee and free up their time is valuable.

Are you straight-talking with integrity, someone who can create empathy with clients and help them to achieve their goals?

Do you strive to be the best version of yourself? Not simply settling but continually striving and looking for new ways to develop!

Do you love working as part of a team? When the going gets tough are you the one to step up and play your part? We are always there when it matters: for our team, our clients and the wider community through our charitable work.

Are you willing to challenge clients to get the most out of their businesses and keep them on the straight and narrow? If you see something wrong are you the one to highlight that and stand against the tide? “No you can’t put that new hot tub through as a business expense”.

If this sounds like you then take a look at the comments below as we are looking for a number of people to join our growing team here at russell + russell.
