Now you’ve finished your degree, join us to begin your accountancy career.

Our Level 7 apprenticeship is equivalent to a Master’s degree. The programme aligns with globally recognised professional accountancy qualifications (ACA), as well as providing structured support and guidance for each apprentice’s wider development.

Hazlewoods, UK Top 35 Business Advisers and Chartered Accountants, is a practice with a difference. Our unique specialist sector expertise gives us a UK wide client base, whilst based in beautiful Gloucestershire.

With over 500 employees, we are large enough to provide plenty of opportunities for progression, or rotation throughout teams, but small enough that everyone can make a difference. You will work with a portfolio of interesting and diverse clients: having an array of responsibilities and variety of work, no two days are the same!

We offer graduate opportunities across all areas of the business and work with you to match you to the right team.

• Audit ‐ providing insightful, tailored advice to help maximise the potential of every business we work with
• Tax ‐ forward thinking, creative and strategic planning advice, tailored to fit our client’s personal and business objectives
• Accountancy and Business Advisory ‐ specialist accounting and business advice for our diverse clients
• Corporate Finance – supporting clients through mergers, acquisitions, sales, raising finance and transaction services.

The right person will have:

• achieved or predicted a 2:1 degree in any subject
• achieved a Grade 6 (or above) in GCSE Maths and English Language and the equivalent of 112 UCAS points
• a strong work ethic with the drive to succeed

• analytical skills: the ability to accurately and diligently assimilate information, grasp concepts quickly, research and solve problems
