About the Graduate Programme
Our three-year ACA Audit Graduate Programme gives you the perfect balance of structured learning, professional qualification, and hands-on experience.
You’ll train to become a Chartered Accountant (ACA) while working directly with clients - from dynamic start-ups to established corporations - to understand their operations, analyse their performance, and ensure financial transparency.
Expect real responsibility early on. You’ll be out on-site, working in teams, using data to solve problems, and learning to see the bigger business picture. Every day will challenge you to think critically, communicate clearly, and collaborate effectively.
What We’re Looking For
We’re looking for ambitious, analytical graduates who enjoy problem-solving and want to understand how successful businesses are built.
If you’re working towards (or have achieved) a 2:1 degree or higher in any discipline, and you’re ready to learn, grow, and make an impact - this is your opportunity.
What’s in It for You
- Full ACA qualification support and funding
- Hybrid and flexible working
- 25 days annual leave, plus bank holidays
- Career progression opportunities
- Electric car and cycle-to-work schemes
- Life assurance and pension plan
