Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.

As a Tax Intern within Deloitte's Tax team, I supported a range of client and internal projects across indirect tax and wider tax advisory work. My role involved conducting technical research, analysing client data, preparing summaries and presentations, and assisting with compliance and advisory engagements.
On a day-to-day basis, I worked closely with managers and senior team members to deliver client work, which included researching tax legislation and guidance, reviewing and analysing financial and transactional data, preparing technical notes and client-ready deliverables, and attending team and client meetings. I also collaborated with colleagues across different teams, supported project management activities, and developed my understanding of how tax advice is applied in practice. The role required strong attention to detail, analytical thinking, effective communication, and the ability to manage multiple tasks while meeting deadlines.
Throughout the internship, I gained exposure to a variety of tax issues and industries, helping clients navigate complex tax and compliance requirements while developing both my technical knowledge and professional skills.

Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?

Copilot said:
Fairly. As an intern, I was given a good level of responsibility while still receiving support and guidance from colleagues when needed. I was trusted to manage my own workload, conduct technical research, analyse data, prepare client-facing materials, and contribute to ongoing projects. I was also given ownership of specific tasks and expected to deliver work to a high standard within agreed deadlines. This balance of responsibility and support allowed me to develop my technical knowledge, confidence, and professional skills throughout the internship.

Skills Development

Have you learnt any new skills, or developed your existing skills?

Copilot said:
Yes. During my internship, I developed both technical and professional skills. I strengthened my analytical and research skills by interpreting tax legislation and guidance, conducting technical research, and reviewing client data. I also improved my proficiency in Excel and PowerPoint through data analysis, preparing presentations, and creating client-ready deliverables.
In addition, I developed my communication skills by drafting emails, technical summaries, and client-facing documents, as well as collaborating with colleagues across different teams. The experience also improved my time management, attention to detail, and ability to manage multiple priorities while working to tight deadlines. Overall, the internship significantly enhanced my understanding of tax advisory and compliance work and helped build my confidence in a professional environment.

Support and Guidance

How much support and guidance did you receive during your placement / internship?

A great deal. Throughout my internship, I received excellent support and guidance from my team. Colleagues were approachable and willing to answer questions, provide feedback, and explain technical concepts whenever needed. Regular check-ins with managers and senior team members helped ensure I understood my tasks and continued developing my skills.
At the same time, I was encouraged to work independently and take ownership of my responsibilities, which helped build my confidence. The balance of support and autonomy created a positive learning environment and allowed me to make meaningful contributions while continuously developing both my technical knowledge and professional skills.

The company culture was very positive, supportive, and inclusive. From the start of my internship, I felt welcomed by colleagues across the team, who were approachable and willing to offer guidance whenever needed. There was a strong emphasis on collaboration, with team members regularly sharing knowledge and supporting one another to deliver high-quality work.
Despite working in a fast-paced and professional environment, the atmosphere was friendly and encouraging. Interns were treated as valued members of the team and were given opportunities to contribute meaningfully to projects, attend meetings, and build relationships with colleagues at different levels of seniority.
Deloitte also placed a strong focus on learning and development, providing opportunities to gain technical knowledge, develop professional skills, and learn from experienced professionals. Overall, the culture fostered both personal and professional growth, making the internship an enjoyable and rewarding experience.

Recommendations & Advice

Would you recommend Deloitte to a friend?

Yes

What advice would you give to others applying to Deloitte

My advice to others applying to Deloitte would be to be yourself, stay curious, and make the most of every opportunity. Deloitte values candidates who are eager to learn, demonstrate a genuine interest in the business area they are applying for, and are willing to ask thoughtful questions.
During the application process, take the time to understand Deloitte’s values, the work carried out by the team you are applying to, and how your skills and experiences align with the role. It is also important to show enthusiasm, professionalism, and a willingness to learn rather than trying to have all the answers.
If successful, I would encourage interns to actively seek out opportunities, get involved in a variety of projects, and build relationships with colleagues across the firm. Asking questions, taking initiative, and being open to feedback can significantly enhance the experience and help you gain as much as possible from the internship.
