Who we are looking for
We offer two types of training opportunities for early career accountants - our beginner pathway (for school leavers or those who do not want to attend university) and our advanced pathway (for graduates or those with the AAT qualification). Both allow trainees to embark on a career in accountancy, audit, or tax with the support needed to succeed.
The AAT qualification is the foundation for any future bookkeeper, accountant or auditor, while the ATT qualification is ideal for those who wish to pursue a career in tax.

Advanced pathway
The advanced pathway is ideal for university graduates with a degree or those who have already completed the AAT qualification.
This is an opportunity for early career accountants to achieve chartered status. It includes a three-year training contract and enrolment on a Level 7 apprenticeship with assigned tuition and self-study days. You’ll learn on the job from experienced mentors and have the opportunity to apply your skills and knowledge to real commercial situations.
We provide support for a series of chartered qualifications, including:
