Student recruitment

If you have the potential to be one of our business advisers in the future we encourage you to join us.

Trainee recruitment

Each year, we recruit a mixture of graduates and school leavers to undertake professional training. These trainees share key abilities and qualifications:

  • a good track record of working in teams
  • excellent communication skills
  • a 2:1 degree, or higher, in any discipline (not necessary for AAT positions)
  • minimum of 22 UCAS points or 280 points at A/AS level, all gained in the same year and excluding General Studies

What we offer you

We’ll make sure you have the right experience, personal development and training to make your career stimulating and rewarding. We will carefully balance your practical experience to reinforce your professional training. Combined, these two crucial elements will help you achieve your qualification. Of course, qualifying demands hard work. To get through the regular exams, you must be prepared for periods of intensive home study (15 hours a week is typical) in addition to formal study leave. But you are not on your own. Along with your peers, you will be assigned mentors who will support and guide you as well as dedicated tutors who will ensure your progress and development is on track.

Internal training

Our internal training is comprehensive and ongoing. In the first year alone, our ICAEW approved internal programme offers a mix of residential and non-residential elements and technical and skills based training.

Topics covered include:

  • Accounts preparation
  • Business writing skills
  • Practical auditing skills
  • Presentation skills
  • Effective communication
  • Basic PAYE
  • Basic VAT
  • Money laundering

We never forget you are laying the foundations for a career. From the very start of your time with us, we introduce you to people management skills, and then build on this as your career progresses within the firm. Support does not stop when you qualify. Our ongoing programme of training and continuing personal development is designed to keep you achieving great results.
