About TC Croydon

At TC Croydon, our values are enthusiasm, integrity and teamwork. They shape how we work with clients, how we support each other and how we make decisions. We are building a positive, ambitious and values-led team that supports growing businesses across Croydon, South East London and the wider South East.

We are part of TC Group, a fast-growing top 20 accountancy firm, but our Croydon office has a strong local identity. This is a brilliant opportunity for an ambitious person at the start of their accountancy career who wants to be invested in, gain real client experience and grow with a team that will support, challenge and develop them.

As a Trainee Accountant, you will learn how to prepare accounts and tax returns, support bookkeeping and communicate with clients and colleagues about information, deadlines and progress. You will receive training and supervision while building the confidence to take ownership of work within your role.

You will work towards a recognised accounting qualification while gaining practical experience with a varied client base and learning what good client service looks like in practice. This role will not currently sit within an audit team, but you will gain exposure to audit and other specialist service lines across TC Group as your experience develops.

You live our values by bringing enthusiasm, integrity and teamwork to your day-to-day work.
You take ownership of tasks appropriate to your level, ask thoughtful questions and communicate early when you need support.
You produce accurate, organised work that clients and colleagues can rely on.
You make steady progress in your studies and apply what you learn to real client work.

Key responsibilities will include:

Assisting with the preparation of accounts and financial statements from client records.
Supporting bookkeeping and basic accounting tasks, with training and supervision.
Helping the team keep client work organised, accurate and moving forward.
Communicating clearly with clients and colleagues about information required, deadlines and progress.
Supporting day-to-day office administration and team coordination so the office runs smoothly and client work continues to flow.
Developing your technical, professional and commercial skills through study, feedback and on-the-job learning.

About you

We are looking for someone bright, positive and keen to build a career in accountancy. We have high standards and look for strong academics, but we are equally interested in potential, attitude and ambition. Technical knowledge can be developed; curiosity, reliability and ownership are essential.

Strong academic record, including good GCSEs with English and Maths, and good A Level results or equivalent.
