As a group, we also work together to raise money for charity to make a difference to the local community.

We cover the full cost of your training and exams, and our dedicated support will guide you every step of the way. We’re proud to be featured in the Sunday Times Top 100 Apprenticeship Employers 2025, making this an outstanding place to start your accountancy career.

Our size means you’ll benefit from working with a diverse range of clients, from charities and family-run businesses to well-known brands and corporate companies, while still being part of a firm that is small enough to care.

We attract and retain the best people by nurturing a culture of belonging. You’ll be valued for everything you bring and encouraged to follow your professional interests. Alongside on-the-job learning, you’ll study with a leading training provider, combining online and classroom-based learning with support from experienced colleagues.

Your training and development

Joining from University, you will be given the opportunity to study for the Association of Chartered Accountants (ACA). You may be exempt from some of the exams depending on what you studied at University.

• We will fully support you through the qualification with a study package that includes:
• Paid time out of the office to attend our training provider
• Paid study leave ahead of the exams
• Regular reviews with our student mentor
• Alongside the training you will gain invaluable experience in one of our offices. No week is ever the same and, depending on what department you join, you can expect to assist with audits, prepare accounts for limited companies and individuals and produce VAT returns.

We will discuss future career plans with you to ensure they meet your aspirations. Once you have qualified there may be an opportunity to specialise in a particular sector or transfer to another department. Most importantly your learning will never stop and you will be fully supported throughout your career.

Who We Are

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 nearly 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.

Who we are

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.

What we 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.

We work with

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.

Work with us

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!

What we are looking for

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.

See what Chartered Accounting training fits you best

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.

Graduate programme

Graduates will dive straight in to the ACA qualification which is expected to be completed as follows:

• Certificate level: 6 exams to be completed in approximately 6-9 months.
• Professional level: 6 exams with two being taken every 6 months.
• Advanced level: 2 technical papers and a case study taken over two 6 month periods.

School leaver programme

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.

About us

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.

About the graduate role

We run two graduate trainee accounting programmes:

• CIMA from our Sheffield office
• ICAEW from our Egham office – 3 year fast track

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.

What you need

• 2:1 degree or higher (actual or predicted). Any discipline will be considered, although ideally, you’ll have studied a numeracy-based subject.
• 3 A Levels (or equivalent), with at least two at Grades A*-B.
• Strong GCSE grades, including Maths and English.
• Strong IT skills and a confident user of Microsoft Office Suite, including MS Excel.
• The right to work in the UK without restrictions for the duration of the graduate scheme (3 years). We are assuming this will apply to EU nationals.

We offer at Isosceles:

• Fully funded professional training.
• Amazing and varied client base.
• Competitive salary.
• Enhanced holiday.
• Life assurance.
• Direct access to thousands of discounts and other money saving opportunities.
