We’re not the only firm of chartered accountants and tax advisers in this guide who are offering graduates and school leavers exciting opportunities to work with clients across a range of sectors during training. So who are we and why should you choose us?

We like having bright, hard-working trainees working with us. ‘High challenge, high support’ is the balance we aim for. We want our staff to be innovative, ready to explore fresh ideas.

From tech startups to property companies over 100 years old, our clients are forward-thinking and ambitious: something we also aspire to. Following private equity investment in 2023, we’re also in a period of strong growth with new learning & development opportunities ahead. We’re also one of the few Certified B Corporations in the accountancy sector: in joining us, you’ll be contributing to a business that’s committed to balancing profit and purpose.

We encourage each other to be open and share experiences of mental health. And whatever your background when you join us, we want you to feel a sense of belonging and a desire to get involved in the life of BKL. This is one area where, from your first day, we can learn from you.

Even before you qualify, you can look forward to progression: not just in the money you earn but in the recognition you earn. We’ll help you develop as a professional and as a person. Two of BKL’s partners joined as trainees – one from university, one from school – and we know they won’t be the last.

You’ll get to enjoy our refurbished office, complete with a balcony, coffee machines and full-body massage chairs. And because we’re based in North London with a well established commitment to flexible working, you won’t have to worry about a typical commute into the City or Central London.

We want individuals who take pride in showing drive, curiosity and commitment. If you’re ready to put in the effort, we’re ready to work with you.
