Job description

This role will start in March 2026 but the training pathway will start in September 2026 - so this role is only for those who have already graduated.

What you'll do

• Work with a variety of clients, from FTSE-listed companies to fast-growing start-ups, across sectors like financial services, public sector, and technology.
• Get involved from day one, contributing to real advisory projects - from business transformation and risk management to forensic investigations and performance improvement.
• Take on responsibility quickly owning tasks that challenge your thinking and build your confidence.
• Collaborate with experienced colleagues turning complex business issues into clear, actionable solutions.
• Support clients through strategic and operational challenges, helping them improve performance, manage risk, and achieve sustainable growth.
• Learn every day on the job, with guidance from mentors and a structured training programme to build your technical, digital and professional skills.

• Fully funded professional qualification, including paid study leave, expert tuition, and all course fees covered.
• Technology to support your learning and client work.
• Dedicated support network, from experienced managers and mentors to college tutors who'll guide you every step of the way.
• Our approach to how we work helps you balance life, learning, and work.
• Exclusive discounts on shopping, gyms, and wellbeing services.
• Opportunities to give back through mentoring, volunteering, or fundraising initiatives.
• Competitive salary and benefits package, including:
• Extra holiday options (including flexible bank holidays and the option to purchase additional holidays).
• Life assurance
• Private medical insurance

What we expect from you

As part of your training with us, you will be provided with study leave to support you with completing your professional qualification. Completing a professional qualification is a substantial commitment and it\'s worth taking this into consideration before applying, as you will be required to study in your spare time outside of your working hours. You\'ll also be provided with study leave in the run up to your exams. You\'ll need to be focused, committed, and organise your time well to balance all the requirements of being a trainee.

Join the firm that\'s shaping the accountants of the future. We\'re growing fast, and we want you to grow with us. With digital-first innovation and an inclusive culture that powers progress, this is your chance to shape what\'s next. This isn\'t just a graduate scheme. It\'s the start of something bigger.
