An overview of the role

Your first year will be spent learning the fundamentals of accountancy, developing technical expertise in the area of accounts preparation which will form the first building blocks of your career. You will support our team of experienced accountants to deliver exceptional client service to a UK and international client base. You will develop your capabilities on accountancy software and combine your studies with practical experience to reinforce your learning.
As your training contract progresses you will take on greater responsibility as your study develops and work in more challenging areas as you broaden and extend your knowledge. Over time you will work on your own portfolio of clients, supporting them as they grow their businesses.

How we will support you

We will fund you to study towards the AAT (Association of Accounting Technicians) qualification.
You will receive a full study package and time off to attend college but, with Mazars your professional qualification is only part of the story. We support all our trainees with a blended approach to training and development, classroom study, 1:1 coaching and support and, as you progress, technical and skills training to enable you to progress to management and leadership positions.
You will spend time away from the office to attend classes for tuition and revision stages of each exam. The classroom taught approach means that you will have the support of your peers and valuable study time for your exams.
We also operate a number of in-house training courses which will give you technical insight to assist you to keep up with changes in legislation and case law, both in the UK and worldwide.

What we are looking for

We want driven professional individuals who excel at working with others, who have the ability to communicate at a high level and who share the same values as Mazars. Alongside this you must be able to demonstrate analytical skills, commitment, drive commercial awareness, flexibility and creativity.
Academic requirements

We look for candidates who can demonstrate a strong academic track record.

• You’ll need at least 280 UCAS points (to have achieved in the same academic year, from your best 3 A Levels and excluding General Studies).
• We also look for Grade B or above in GCSE English Language and Maths.
