We provide another alternative to university which allows you to develop a professional career and gain valuable hands on experience whilst studying for accountancy qualifications. We have vacancies within our Audit teams nationally.
A big part of our job is helping people be comfortable with numbers. We help our clients to understand their finances and to get the best out of them, whether that’s for now or for the future.
It’s not just about putting numbers into a spreadsheet. It’s about understanding and communicating detailed financial information in an easy to understand way. Chartered accountants are talented and determined people who use their skills in the same way as lawyers, engineers or architects to find the best solution for their clients.
Is it for me?
If you enjoy working as part of a team, can communicate clearly, are curious about how businesses work and are comfortable with numbers (although being a maths genius is not necessary), then a career at Baker Tilly is waiting for you.
