For the Munich location:

Tax Assistant Group Tax Law (m/f/d)

What makes us special
In addition to our team of mainly long-term employees, a friendly and collegial atmosphere, a modern and digital workplace, flexible working time models and many other benefits, our challenging mandates and the support of varied tax issues at a high level are certainly combined with the advantages of a medium-sized law firm. Numerous well-known, nationally and internationally active family businesses and groups as well as wealthy private individuals have relied on our advice for decades.

In the area of corporate tax law, we have established ourselves as a reliable partner for our internationally active clients thanks to our advisory approach and the high standard of our services. In particular, through numerous active referrals, we have been able to greatly expand our client base in this area in recent years. We offer our clients tax and legal advice at a high level combined with the advantages of a medium-sized law firm and a small, well-coordinated team. This may also be a reason why many of our clients have switched to us from well-known large law firms and have valued us for many years.

What awaits you with us
You will support our team of tax advisors and the partners from the outset in providing comprehensive advice on our group mandates and will thus gain an insight into all areas of consultancy with direct client contact:
- Participation in the preparation of group tax calculations
- Involvement in the preparation of tax returns / tax accounting / reporting
- Supporting our clients in the preparation and auditing of annual financial statements
- Supporting our clients in dealing with balance sheet tax issues
- Processing tax law enquiries in the areas of income tax / value added tax / payroll tax / international tax law / transfer pricing
- Support in the supervision of tax audits
- Support with restructurings
- Location: Munich

Through direct cooperation with our partner Mr. Carsten Arndt, LL.M., you will also gain insight into the legal issues of our group mandates.

It is of course possible to specialise in individual areas at a later stage. It is also possible - especially during preparation for the tax advisor examination - to assist in advising our private clients. In this way, we guarantee optimal and comprehensive practical training in preparation for the professional examination.

This is how you convince us
We are looking for active, enthusiastic and hard-working personalities. Are you interested in getting to know numerous areas of group tax law and acquiring the necessary knowledge? Are you prepared to deliver above-average performance in a small, flexible team? In addition to your willingness and motivation to learn, is your focus on the satisfaction of our clients?

Does this appeal to you? Then we look forward to getting to know you!

In addition to our online application, you are also welcome to contact Mr Carsten Arndt, LL.M.  or Ms Bettina Utz  if you have any questions or would like to make initial contact.

What exactly does training as a tax specialist look like with us? What can you expect and what is particularly important? Answers to these and other questions can be found in the field report of our trainees.

Regina Klostermeier (start in September 2022) 

"My first contact with SWA was a school internship in grade 8. Numbers interested me early on and a year earlier I had already chosen accounting as a subject at our secondary school. I thought I was well prepared for my internship. But then I quickly realised that I was still too young. This experience awakened my ambition. Having a plan and sticking to it is my basic attitude. Maybe it has something to do with my hobby. I'm a sportswoman, I play football actively in a club. In September 2022, I started my training here with Mr Arndt.
What I particularly like about SWA is the combination of super nice people, variety and the demand for performance. From conversations with other tax trainees, I know that I get very diverse and varied tasks. Income tax, notices, advance payments, bookkeeping and much more. Especially in very large firms, things are much more impersonal and one-sided in comparison. In our daily work, confidentiality and reliability are very important - after all, we get to see sensitive data and deadlines have to be met.
The office in Munich is centrally located, right next to the Theresienwiese. With lots of shops, pubs, bistros etc., it's ideal for a lunch break. We also have our own gym with a shower. But I haven't used it yet - I already do enough sport in my free time.
For anyone who is also interested in training as a tax assistant, I recommend doing a work placement beforehand.
You also need an understanding of numbers and should be able to think and work in a structured way. If you have these prerequisites, the prospects of successfully completing the programme, including the prospect of being taken on, are very good."
