Why Join A HAT Member Firm?

Do you want to work for a smaller firm where you are valued and treated as an individual?

We are currently recruiting for approximately 35 ACA roles for Beavis Morgan, Constantin, Lewis Golden, Simmons Gainsford, Sayers Butterworth, FW Smith Riches & Wilder Coe who are both based in Central London and are members of HAT. A typical starting salary of this role will be £29,000 per annum. We can promise you a highly efficient and personal recruitment experience too.  Just see the positive reviews we have had on Glassdoor!

Who are we?

HAT is a training consortium of 60 small to medium-sized firms of accountants. HAT  recruits ACA & AAT trainees on behalf of our full member firms, which range in size from just 3 partners and 15 professional staff, up to 30 partners and over 150 professional staff.

Joining a HAT firm means you will get the very best of both worlds; early responsibility that comes from training with a small or medium-sized firm as well as a highly reputable training package. HAT are totally committed to your development. You will be joining a well-recognised, three-year chartered accountancy training programme coordinated by HAT. We look after student administration and oversee your professional exam training for the ICAEW exams with one of the leading accountancy tuition centres. Full paid study leave is given and approximately 24 weeks are spent at tutors during your training contract. As well as passing the exams, you will also attend high quality practical courses, which are written and run by HAT. These courses will teach you how to carry out efficient practical work.

It’s not all about courses; you will have a lot to learn in the workplace too. We will ensure you get the right mix of practical experience and early recognition and responsibility. You won’t spend months on one section of the same audit. You will soon be responsible for completing a whole range of assignments including accountancy, audit and giving business advice to a wide variety of clients. You will receive support every step of the way from exam tutors, colleagues, your training partner and from the HAT team; that’s why on average, 88% of our students pass first time.

To Apply:

You will need a minimum of 5 GCSEs (grade 9-4) including at least a level 6 in Mathematics and 5 in English;

A minimum of 120 UCAS Tariff Points (A, B, B), achieved from your top three A-levels or equivalent, excluding General Studies, EPQ, Critical Thinking and completed in the same academic year;

A minimum of a 2:1 degree (obtained) in any subject. Or a 2:2 if you have AAA at A-level.

If you have not already graduated, you expect to graduate this summer.

Please note, candidates must be available to start at the beginning of August 2022 for August 2022 roles. Any offers made will be withdrawn if applicants cannot complete their induction training.
