Graduate Tax Adviser
Graduate Tax Adviser – Midlands, Bromsgrove
Work with clients in sport, film, entertainment and international business
Start Your Career in a Specialist Tax, Accountancy & Business Management Firm
We are looking for ambitious graduates to join our Tax team and build a career advising clients in the sport, film, entertainment and high net worth sectors.
Ground Control Business Management is not a typical accountancy firm. We operate as a business management and financial concierge service, supporting clients with complex financial, tax and lifestyle needs at every stage of their careers.
Our clients include internationally recognised individuals, entertainers, professional athletes, executives and business owners, often operating across multiple jurisdictions. This creates a unique and dynamic working environment, where no two client situations are the same.
If you are looking for a role that combines technical tax expertise with real world application in high profile industries, this is an opportunity to build a highly specialised and valuable career.
The Opportunity
As a Graduate Tax Adviser, you will:
- Work on a diverse portfolio of clients across sport, entertainment and international business
- Support tax compliance and advisory work for individuals and businesses
- Gain exposure to international tax considerations and complex financial structures
- Develop the ability to explain technical tax matters clearly to non-specialist clients
- Build commercial awareness by understanding how tax impacts real world decisions
You will be given early responsibility and encouraged to actively contribute, rather than simply observe.
Why This Role is Different
This is not a traditional graduate role focused only on compliance work.
At Ground Control, you will be:
- Working with high-performing individuals and dynamic industries
- Developing skills in both tax and broader business management
- Gaining exposure to international and high-net-worth client work
- Building relationships and contributing to client outcomes from an early stage
You will learn how tax advice fits within a wider commercial and personal financial strategy, giving you a broader and more valuable skillset than a typical accountancy pathway.
