Job Description & Summary

Bring your talent. Learn new skills. Make a positive impact.

At PwC Ireland, we uncover hidden talents, build lifelong relationships, and turn challenges into opportunities. We redefine possibilities for our clients and communities, empowering you to make a meaningful impact that extends far beyond our firm.

As part of our team—whether in Assurance, Tax, Specialised Assurance Services, or Consulting & Deals—you’ll engage in impactful projects with leading clients across diverse industries, contributing to the shaping of tomorrow.

From your first day, you’ll be immersed in a collaborative and inclusive culture where your ideas lead to real-world solutions. Our graduate programme supports your growth at every stage, combining hands-on experience with structured learning, professional qualifications, and mentorship. This is your chance to grow, innovate, and contribute meaningfully as we work towards excellence together.

Role Overview:

A career in Corporate Tax will give you the opportunity to work with a wide range of clients, helping them understand and meet their tax obligations while navigating an evolving business and regulatory environment.

As a graduate, you’ll work alongside experienced colleagues and build your knowledge of corporate tax from day one. You’ll support some of Ireland’s leading businesses across a variety of industries, gaining an understanding of how tax impacts their commercial decisions and wider business activities.

Throughout the programme, you’ll develop your technical knowledge alongside valuable skills in problem solving, communication, teamwork and client relationship management. You’ll be supported by your team while being encouraged to take ownership of your work and grow your confidence as your experience develops.

When you join our tax practice, you have a choice to study the qualifications that are best suited to you and your career path. You can choose to study for both the ACA and AITI qualifications, or the AITI qualification only. There is also an option to join us and study for a Masters qualification relevant to your work.

As a Graduate in Tax, you’ll:

  • Support your team on a variety of client projects and engagements.
  • Assist with the preparation of corporate tax returns, calculations and other compliance documentation.
  • Research tax, legislative and commercial developments and consider how they may affect our clients.
  • Build your technical knowledge and learn how to analyse issues, consider different options and reach well-supported conclusions.
  • Assist in preparing tax advice, reports and other client communications.
  • Develop an understanding of our clients’ businesses, industries and commercial priorities.
  • Work collaboratively with colleagues across different teams and areas of expertise.
  • Build positive working relationships with clients and contribute to delivering high-quality work.
  • Manage your responsibilities effectively, seek feedback and take an active role in your ongoing learning and development.
