Programme Overview:

Joining Moore Kingston Smith on an Industrial Placement means you will gain experience working in audit and accounts for a variety of businesses across a wide range of sectors including technology, charity, healthcare and renewable energy. We are committed to giving each person that joins us first class training in a personal and friendly working environment.

Right from the start you will be working with clients, getting to know their business and understanding their challenges. You will be encouraged to take responsibility early on and you will be exposed to all aspects of a job.

Your experience will be varied; sometimes you will be working on projects lasting a few days, other times a few weeks. Whatever you are doing, you will always be making a direct impact on our clients’ business.

The majority of our trainees will have a generalist experience but we have opportunities for those who have an interest in more specialist audit experience.  Opportunities exist with our Corporate Client Services team who focus on large and complex clients and also our Non Profit team.

What are we looking for?

These 12 month placements are for students who need to complete a placement as part of their degree. We are looking for students who are interested in pursuing a career in accountancy, are adaptable, enjoy building relationships and are passionate about developing themselves.

In order to be eligible for this programme, you will also need:

• be on track for a 2:1 or above in an undergraduate degree
• have 96 UCAS points from three A-levels (or equivalent)
• will be available to work from September 2023
• have permission to work in the UK by September 2023

Please note:

To avoid bias, your application will be reviewed question by question rather than as one whole application and so you need to ensure that your answers make sense on their own. For example, you will need to avoid saying ‘as stated in my previous example’.

No one should face barriers when applying to work at Moore Kingston Smith. We’re keen to make sure our application process is accessible to everyone. This includes making adjustments for people who have a disability or long-term condition.
