Tech & High Growth Audit Graduate London 2024

Do you have an interest in emerging technologies and how it is shaping the future? Can you imagine working with rapidly growing start-ups and scaleups in the tech sector?

Keen to continue studying and gain a professional qualification?

Well, this is very different to your average generalist Audit Graduate role and we aren’t your usual audit team.

We are part of the Tech & High Growth team in Broadgate, London, working together as a unit to put fast scaling companies in the best position to fly! We see our clients’ success as our success, and we are looking for people just as ambitious as us to join the THG family.

About the role

Our team are leading the way in the Tech & Scale Up sector, which shows through our exceptional growth and our clients trust and satisfaction in the service they receive. We support the founders and the finance teams in these companies to deal with the challenges of rapid expansion.

You will kick off your training in audit to get a solid base of business and financial understanding and within years you will be leading and taking charge of a team not only supporting these clients but also supporting the next generation of CP trainees. Day to day you could be;

• Reviewing financial records to identify risks, improvements and ensure records show a “true and fair” financial view
• Working in small teams undertaking financial testing contributing your part to the wider set of accounts
• Managing several priorities to deliver high quality results
• Effectively planning and organising to ensure all client work is carried out within the appropriate timescales set by the manager and providing regular updates to the manager without being prompted
• Problem solving to clear audit issues and being confident to seek guidance and support from colleagues and managers when required
• Studying for your ACA Chartered Accountant Qualification via a 3 year apprenticeship, attending college on block release.

What you’ll need

Studying for a professional qualification and working is not an easy pathway. You will need to be committed and have amazing project management skills to balance studies and the day job. So, we look for people who:

• Able to demonstrate a keen interest in working with Tech & High Growth companies
• Like working to pace with an insatiable hunger to succeed
• Able to deliver a brilliant client experience through clear effective communication
• Motivated to achieve the qualification.
• Great attention to detail, a passion for numbers and a knack for following processes within guidelines.
• Comfortable approaching clients and asking questions.
• Curious about growth companies and see our work as part of their success.

We’ll make sure you’re challenged and supported every step of the way with your career development.
