Your new career in accountancy – what can you expect?

If successful, you’ll join one of our accountancy firms where you’ll become part of a team preparing audit, accounts and tax assignments for a range of clients. Initially you’ll observe and learn basic skills from more experienced colleagues. You will be involved in recording clients' systems and testing how they operate. Within weeks you should start to progress and take responsibility for small assignments. 

During your second year, you’ll be expected to be competent enough to supervise your junior staff and work on mid-range audits with the minimum of supervision. By the time you qualify, you should be experienced enough to oversee a complete audit, and by the third year, you could be earning a very competitive salary! 

What we're looking for

We’re looking for articulate, confident, intelligent graduates with strong academic qualifications and a range of transferable skills. Accountancy is a people-focused profession. Numeracy is expected, but you must also be able to communicate confidently with colleagues and clients, as well as being able to:

• organise yourself and your workload;
• balance the competing demands on your time; and
• take personal responsibility for the development of your career

We accept applications throughout the year, so why wait any longer!

Good luck!
