Are you ready to kickstart your career in tech and innovation in 2025? Imagine working with cutting-edge IT and software businesses, surrounded by a team that’s as ambitious and curious as you are.

We’re Cooper Parry’s CP Innovation team – a close-knit group of 40 specialists from diverse backgrounds like engineering, biotech, chemistry, IT, and even astrophysics.
We help clients unlock value through R&D tax incentives and Patent Box relief, working alongside grant providers and patent attorneys.

As a Trainee Tax Innovation Consultant, you’ll dive into real projects from day one, with flexibility to work from our Castle Donnington or Birmingham hubs.

This is more than just a job – it’s a launchpad. You’ll:

• Support R&D claims and attend client workshops
• Draft technical project descriptions and reports
• Perform costing calculations and contribute to team initiatives

You’ll be supported every step of the way – by peers, mentors, and even our Partners. We’ll give you structure, but also the freedom to grow at your own pace.

We’re looking for someone with:

• A degree in IT, Computer Science, or Technology
• A process-driven, analytical mindset
• 3 A-levels (BBC or above, including a numerical or business subject)

We're proud to be a purpose-driven business. As the UK's largest B Corp certified accountancy firm, we're committed to making a positive impact beyond profit - measuring your success by how we support people, communities and the planet.  We were ranked 83rd in the Top 100 Apprenticeship Employers in the UK, reflecting our dedication to nurturing early careers and creating opportunity for future talent. 

What’s in it for you?

• Flexible working – balance home, office, and client time your way
• Generous holiday allowance to recharge and explore
• No dress code – just “wear something!”
• Award-winning wellbeing support – for your physical, mental, spiritual, and financial health
