You will work as a part of a team, all of whom will be highly supportive, and there are plenty of opportunities to socialise together as well. Many people choose to specialise in an industry sector, perhaps even gaining a reputation as a leading expert in their field, or alternatively choose to become a generalist usually in one of our regional office, looking after clients across a range of sectors. As a Trainee Auditor your Programme is a 3 year structured programme around working and studying. You will study towards an appropriate qualification, usually either the ACA (from the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales) or the CA (from ICAS) in Scotland. An Audit Trainee will form part of the audit team both on-site at clients, and in the office, ensuring that all aspects of the audit are completed on time and within budget.

London

Graduate

£27,000

We are looking to recruit graduates for our September & April intake. Our people are key to our success. We want to recruit and retain the very best, so every year we look for five to six top-quality graduates who wish to train as chartered accountants. We offer the quality and benefits of a large firm in a smaller environment where there is more opportunity to use your initiative and gain responsibility early on. We provide wide-ranging work experience in fields including investigation litigation support, business planning, financial modelling, tax planning, audit and general business advice. As a trainee, you will have the opportunity to deal with everything from an entrepreneur just setting up a business, to a large established company. Our clients include high street names such as Wimpy and GBK, AIM-listed companies, film distributors, retailers and travel firms. We also specialise in working with hedge fund managers regulated by the FCA. Our audit assignments are typically completed within two weeks, so our trainees gain experience in a much wider variety of businesses than those at the Big Four, where a single job might last six months.
