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

What advice would you give to others applying to Deloitte
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.
