Job description

Applications will open later this year. We invite you to register your interest to receive updates on when applications open.

We offer two placement options for undergraduate students. You can choose a year-long industrial placement or a six-week summer placement.

Both placements will give you a valuable insight into what it’s like to work with us and an idea of how much accountancy careers have to offer.

Industrial placements for undergraduate students

Work as a trainee accountant for a full year, starting in mid-August. You’ll fully experience accounting life as you’ll be training alongside our first-year graduate trainees. You’ll be placed in either our business advisory team (to learn general accounting) or in our audit team.

These are paid placements and they could lead to ongoing employment with the firm. Students who live locally may be offered an ongoing internship during their final year at university. This would be a part-time paid role that enables you to continue working with us while you finish your degree.

In addition, successful industrial placement students may be made the offer of a permanent trainee job for after their degree. Our trainee offer includes fully funded training to achieve either the prestigious Chartered Accountant or Chartered Tax Advisor qualification, both of which are equivalent to a Masters’ degree.

You can apply for our industrial placements if you are a second-year undergraduate student on a four-year degree course, with a work placement in the third year. You can be studying any degree.
