With specialist teams covering the needs of particular professions and business sectors, we offer over 12 specialisms and serve more than 10,000 business throughout East Anglia and beyond.
The reason our clients value us as their adviser is because we make a point of building a picture of each client, which pulls in all the things that make each one different. This allows us to wrap individual service and advice around each client, which suits them perfectly and which they really appreciate. That’s why we’re different – because each one of our clients is different. We don’t only understand that each of our clients are different, we understand that each of our employees are different too.

James Cowper Kreston is a leading firm of accountants and business advisers with offices across the Thames Valley, London and South. We are passionate about enabling our clients and staff to maximise their potential. That means that we approach each client or staff member as an individual, not with a pre-set script.
Since 1922 we have been working with clients, not just as accountants but as an integral part of their team, offering a full range of advisory services and working with them to unlock and maximise available opportunities.
As a team of over 220 people, everyone gets to play their part in helping us achieve our goals. We have a strong team ethic, but always recognise the individual contributions. That’s why we make a great investment in individual career development and helping you maximise your potential.
We are looking for the next generation of accountants to join our growing team. If you have already obtained your degree, or are about to do so, then our Graduate Trainee Programme offers a practical way to kick-start a rewarding career in accountancy.
Our 3-year training programme offers a Level 7 Apprenticeship to achieve the ACA qualification. This means you’ll combine on-the-job learning with classroom-based training to develop technical knowledge and personal skills that will help you maximise your career potential.
We also offer 3-year School Leaver Apprenticeships, to study the AAT qualification, before then progressing on to the ACA Apprenticeship.
You do not need to have a degree in accounting and finance to join our graduate scheme. Whatever your academic background you will have knowledge and skills that are transferable to a career in accountancy, and we welcome variety! We are looking for hard-working, driven individuals who can communicate effectively with both colleagues and clients.
At James Cowper Kreston, people are at the heart of our business. That’s why we aim to recruit and retain the best and offer challenging and rewarding opportunities. In fact, a number of our senior management team, and a quarter of our current partners, started out as trainees at the firm.
We’re committed to developing your career by:
Galloways is the fastest growing accounting firm in Sussex. Operating from multiple offices across the county we look after small, medium and large businesses, charities and individuals. We have over 200 people with specialist expertise across all areas of accountancy, taxation, and financial planning. We all want to be successful, have great careers, enjoy our work and make money. We make that happen by working with likeminded people and thriving on each other’s knowledge. We run our firm like a business, just like our clients do.
We help businesses and individuals manage their financial and compliance matters, whilst helping them make or save money. Accountants like talking about what they do (don’t we all?), but every client story starts with their specific problem or requirement that needs addressing. That’s why the most important thing that we do is listen…
We embrace the digital world through our cloud accounting capabilities, but equally recognise the importance of face-to-face and empathetic advice. Robots may take over the world one day, but when a client is worried about a tax bill or a business problem a friendly, familiar and knowledgeable face makes all the difference.
Our firm has been in existence for a very long time (1870 we think). The only relevance our longevity has is that it has enabled us to build a fabulous and diverse client base in Sussex. We are pretty certain that we don’t have many clients that date back to our beginnings, but we have many family and business customers that we have been looking after for many generations, and will continue to do the same for generations to come.
We are a group of great people helping even greater clients manage their financial affairs. We offer the study support, market rate salary and competitive benefits package that you’d expect, but what differentiates us is our ambitious growth plans for the future. Growth means limitless opportunity for you to develop, grow and build your career as you want to – all with the support of a group of like-minded people in a great part of the country.
We recognise that most accountants fall into the profession and thus we are simply looking for people who are able to demonstrate a high level of numeracy, the intellectual ability required to pass demanding professional examinations, an eagerness to work hard and the personal skills with which to build effective relationships with both clients and colleagues. Everything else can be picked up along the way if you are willing to put in the effort!
At Cooper Parry, we’re here to “Disrupt” the industry, “Lead” the way in everything we do, and “Make Life Count” for our people, our clients, and our local communities.
That’s why we’ve been hailed “the rebels of accountancy”. Sure, that sounds like a contradiction. But that’s the point. We’re changing stereotypes. We’re championing our culture. And we know that when our people are happy, engaged and playing to their strengths every day, they’ll produce incredible results for our clients.
While we have offices in the East & West Midlands and London that have been dubbed some of the “coolest” in the UK (check out our website for a flavour), we offer hybrid working too.
So, if you’re ready to challenge the status quo, become a more brilliant version of yourself, and find out what life’s really like at the #1 Accountancy Firm to Work For in the UK, we’d love to chat.
We offer opportunities within Audit, Tax, Outsourcing & Wealth amongst others. We have fully funded courses, and study support, that lead to a professional qualification.

People who excel – We’re not only looking for high academic achievers – we want people who demonstrate leadership through their extra-curricular activities and community involvement.
People with integrity – We want people with a clear sense of personal and professional accountability, who build relationships by doing the right thing.
People who demonstrate respect – We look for people who recognise the value of different backgrounds and points of view. By respecting these differences, we enrich our perspectives and enhance the services we provide to our clients.
People who are good at working in teams – We look for evidence that individuals are good at listening, learning, sharing, developing and working together to achieve more for our clients.
People with energy, enthusiasm and the courage to lead – We want people who are passionate and excited about the opportunities at Burgess Hodgson, their futures and achieving their potential.
The training process takes a minimum of 3 years for graduates and 4 years for school leavers. We give all of our trainees the required study days off work and will fully fund all courses and exams, including travel. All working day requirements for the qualification will comfortably be met.
Graduates will dive straight in to the ACA qualification which is expected to be completed as follows:
To help with the transition from school we put all trainees through their level 4 AAT qualification before the ACA programme above. This consists of 6 exams which are to be completed over a 15 month period. This will give the school leaver a strong foundation knowledge to help them complete their ACA qualification as well as 5 exemptions from the certificate level exams.
Successful candidates will be invited to an interview with our two recruitment Partners:
Andrew Collyer and Matthew Lightfoot.
We do not keep our potential recruits waiting and will always aim to inform you of our decision promptly. We take on trainees throughout the year so if you are successful you won’t need to wait to start your career.

Following private equity investment in 2023, we’re in a period of strong growth with new learning & development opportunities open to everyone. 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 people, the planet and profit.
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 adviser and as a person. Three of BKL’s partners joined as trainees – two from university, one from school – and we know they won’t be the last.
You’ll get to enjoy our modern offices, complete with balcony, coffee machines and full-body massage chairs. Having a Central London office, a North London office and remote working offers plenty of flexibility.
If you’re curious, courageous and proud to do things differently, then you should choose BKL.

Isosceles was founded in 2001 by our CEO, Mike O’Connell. Through his initial work with investors and emerging companies, Mike realised that entrepreneurs involved in new ventures and growing businesses need an effective finance, accounting and HR function just as much as well-established corporations. The challenge these organisations faced, however, was how to afford the calibre of expertise and systems needed to develop a thriving business model. Isosceles was formed to meet this challenge.
Isosceles is not a traditional accounting practice – we provide bespoke outsourced accounting, advisory, control and strategic financial support for a varied and expanding client base. While for some we are their full Finance team, we also work with clients on merger, acquisition and divestiture execution, on managing and expanding an international presence, on funding growth and achieving a high value sale.
We work with clients in tech, life science, manufacturing, research and service industries. All ambitious. All growing. All expecting first class support from their professional partners – us.
Isosceles has worked with some of the most successful companies in the UK and helped hundreds of entrepreneurs to achieve business growth. We have evolved from a company that simply offers a range of outsourced accounting, HR and FD services into a value adding business partner that works with its clients to grow value and, for many, achieve a successful exit.
We have 3 offices in the UK, Egham, which is our head office, Sheffield and Cambridge.
We run two graduate trainee accounting programmes:
You will be working with a team of professionals at various levels in their accounting career, you’ll learn the full range of core accounting skills such as management of ledgers; fixed asset registers; expenses; bank reconciliations; VAT; financial reporting across P&L, variances, cash flow analysis and balance sheet, as well as getting involved in audit. You’ll have exposure to and be responsible for client work from the very beginning, so you’ll quickly build your own portfolio of clients and or/ areas of technical expertise.

So, whether we’re keeping fit on #WorkoutWednesday, catching up over a beer at our in-house bar, or developing new skills with the Learning Lab, it’s an environment where everyone can thrive and where their achievements are celebrated.
We have fantastic opportunities at ForrestBrown – and we need people who are going to make the most of them. That means being someone who will flourish in a collaborative, fast-paced environment where there is a real focus on technical excellence.

Our trainees have days off to attend college and we’ll even help you with mock exam papers. What’s more, with an intake of a small group of associates, you’ll join together and support one another throughout your time here.
