Want a career in accountancy that sets you apart?

Our first-class Trainee Chartered Accountant (ACA or ACA/CTA) training programme enables you to develop a rewarding career in one of the UK’s most forward-thinking, ambitious, and growing accountancy practices.

But it doesn’t stop there. Our approach to trainee recruitment focuses on long-term investment. We’re looking for the next generation of managers, directors and partners who will drive our business forward and deliver our success.

Our investment in you

Recognised as an ICAEW Partner in Learning, you will study for the ACA or ACA/CTA qualification as part of a Level 7 Apprenticeship, to help you develop the wide-ranging skills needed to become a talented business adviser. You will be supported to complete a wide range of professional and personal development throughout your apprenticeship, both remotely and face to face, to ensure that you have skills and knowledge that you need to aid your future career development.

Join our team

We have trainee opportunities available throughout our Audit, Tax and Accounts teams. Whichever team you join, you will be given early responsibility from day one and will have the opportunity to work with and add value to a broad range of interesting and diverse clients.

To be successful within the role, you’ll need to adopt a strong commercial mindset and the ability to work on multiple tasks within a fast-paced client focused working environment.

You will be able to take full advantage of the hybrid working that we offer to all our people. Whether you’re working from the office, from home or from a client site, we support our people to achieve the right balance of flexibility whilst delivering excellent client service.

But it's not all about work. Our trainees are all encouraged to make a wider contribution through business development activities and initiatives such as CSR, diversity and sports and social activities. This allows you to develop into both technical experts and the future leaders of our business.

We know this gives our business a refreshingly different, people-focussed culture. It is no coincidence then, that we've been ranked as one of the Top Five Best Accounting firms to work for in the UK in 2021.
