Each year we recruit a number of trainees to undertake a five year training contract in order to become qualified accountants. During your first 6 months, you will undertake duties such as preparing basic accounts, working closely with a qualified team. Once both you and the firm are happy that accountancy is the right career choice for you, you will be offered a five year training contract.
You will need to be prepared to study in your own time too to make sure that you get the most from your studies and achieve exam success.
