In a nutshell
Join our ACA trainee programme and launch your career as a Chartered Accountant. This full-time, permanent role starts with three years of structured training and qualification support, offering hands-on experience, a salary, and a clear path to long-term growth. We’ll cover your training costs and support you every step of the way. As a certified Great Place to Work, we’re the perfect place to start your audit career.
What you'll be doing
As a trainee auditor, you’ll play a key role in helping businesses understand their financial position and manage risk. You'll work with a diverse portfolio of clients, including commercial businesses, from owner-managed to listed entities, charities, educational establishments, and professional firms.
You will:
1. Develop technical, commercial and interpersonal skills
2. Work in small project teams (typically 2-5 people) on audits lasting 1-3 weeks for medium sized and large businesses
3. Identify key issues and risks, using analytics tools and software to interpret data, draw conclusions, and make recommendations
4. Gain experience in preparing annual statutory accounts and tax calculations, and assessing forecasts and projections
5. Be part of a high performing, supportive team
As you progress, you’ll take on more responsibility and have opportunities to make a real impact.
