tax technician


Explanation:
I see my Brit. compatriots using this term, there's an ATT - Association of Tax Technicians which sets an exam rather like the SFA-exam here - ooh, that reminds me of something: they changed the title to 'Steuerfachangestellte' back in the mid-90s - my first trainee started out in 1994 training to be a Gehilfin but ended up in 1997 becoming an Angestellte, if I recall correctly.
