How is it structured?
Across this three-year Level 7 Apprenticeship, study for a professional qualification in Chartered Accountancy and gain the skills you need to lead the way for impactful audits.
From day one, you can expect to be fully immersed within our work, getting involved with big audits for clients. You’ll liaise, connect, report, deliver and instil confidence for all kinds of businesses. You’ll even enjoy the chance to embed yourself within your clients’ organisations, collaborating from within their offices and taking on business and mobility opportunities when they arise.
Throughout the programme, you’ll shadow senior colleagues and study for a world-class qualification. People who do well here are resilient and keen to pick up new skills wherever they can. You’ll use your inquisitive nature to solve unique client challenges and capitalise on your communication skills to broaden your professional network. Enjoy the support of mentors as you define where you want your career to go beyond the graduate landscape.
Alongside our programme offering, we give you all the training and exposure to real-world work you could want. We also offer company-wide and programme-specific rewards that make all the hard work worthwhile. These include wellbeing initiatives, a free tech MBA, healthcare support, a pension scheme and more.
