Qualifications and attributes

We make a significant investment in the recruitment of staff and require them to possess excellent attributes. All our graduate recruits enter into an ACA training contract leading to membership of ICAEW, and we require them to have a high standard of academic achievement in any recognised discipline – as a minimum a 2.1 Honours Degree. At all levels problem-solving skills, an ability to communicate clearly and to work well with people are vital. Enthusiasm and a willingness to take responsibility are also essential attributes.

Our students enter an apprenticeship programme and receive training for their professional examinations with study leave, tuition fees and examination fees paid by the firm.

Training and development

We also provide internal courses to ensure that our staff members satisfy the CPD requirements of the ICAEW. Professional staff are also encouraged to attend external courses to supplement the firm’s internal training. All staff are trained in general business skills so that they can understand and appreciate the business objectives across a diverse and demanding client base that is shared by very few firms of our size.

Our objective is to ensure that our students pass their examinations at the first attempt. Our successful training approach has led to several of our students being prizewinners in their professional examinations in previous years.

Programs and schedule

New ACA students usually join us in either January or August. We are currently recruiting for a graduate trainee position in the personal tax team with the opportunity to be seconded to the audit and accounting department.

We offer a competitive London salary and benefits package which is regularly reviewed, have a strong social culture and encourage a healthy work/life balance which includes hybrid working.
