Everything you'd expect but more...
As a leading, independently-owned financial services firm, we offer unprecedented variety - not least because we're home to an accountancy practice, an investment management arm and a private bank. It's our breadth of services that makes us unique in the industry. We work with a broad range of clients too - start-ups, multinationals, high-net-worth individuals, professional practices and non-profit organisations.
What does our Apprenticeship Programme look like?
We offer apprenticeships in three of our core service lines. These are structured training programmes that combine practical work experience, internal training and technical studies. You'll be fully supported throughout, as you train to be an Associate Chartered Accountant. You'll start by studying for the Certificate in Finance, Accounting and Business (CFAB) which is a respected foundation for chartered accountancy. Once you have completed your CFAB, you'll then go on to study the ACA (Association of Chartered Accountants). This will enable you to become a qualified Associate Chartered Accountant in 5 years rather than the 6 years (minimum) it would have taken to obtain an undergraduate degree.
What is Audit?
Companies are facing increasing scrutiny over their finances; audit accountants are responsible for reviewing a company's financial records to ensure that they are accurate and compliant. Many businesses need to reassure investors and other stakeholders on their financial performance. Auditing has its origins in medieval times when royalty and merchants hired auditors to root out cases of theft and fraud. If you are good with numbers and have a good eye for detail a career in auditing could be for you.
Why do an Audit Apprenticeship?
You'll work alongside managing and financial directors to provide advice and solutions that will make a real difference to a range of organisations. It's a great way to build first-hand client experience as you undertake your professional qualification training.
