About us

Brebners is a long established firm in the West End of London.

Clients are drawn from many sectors including restaurants and leisure, media, manufacturing, service industries and finance. They range in size from large corporates to individuals in business.

We aim to be the best in our field. Our service is based on a thorough understanding of our clients. Our success has come from consistently providing dynamic, imaginative solutions to our clients’ problems. Our strength lies in the range of specialist advice we provide and the consistent quality of service. That quality is not negotiable because we want our clients to be as proud of us as we are of them.

The firm is large enough to have specialist departments, which are used by the client contact partners to provide top quality service, but small enough to maintain close relationships with clients and staff.

Training

Students join our audit and accountancy department spending on average a couple of weeks on each assignment. Secondments to other departments ensure that a wide variety of experience, both of types of work and different businesses, is a feature of the training. Mercia Group provides both in-house work related courses and the link to the tutors for your examinations. We provide an office environment that is friendly and hard-working with the support of colleagues and partners as you build up your knowledge and experience.

About you

The skills needed to complete the vigorous training regime are well known, accountancy is neither all numbers nor all client contact! Those with good social skills and an ease with numbers will undoubtedly do well and we hope you will bring them to us. Once qualified and building on your breadth of experience, there is plenty of scope to specialise within the partnership.

What’s in it for you?

At Blick Rothenberg, you gain more than a professional qualification—you start a long-term career. From day one, you’ll take on real responsibility, work with high-quality clients, and be part of a collaborative and supportive team. As a mid-sized firm, we’re big enough to offer exciting and varied opportunities, but small enough for you to be recognised and make a real impact.

From day one, you’ll receive structured training, hands-on experience and continuous support to develop both your technical knowledge and professional skills. We offer graduate and school leaver pathways in Tax, Audit and Accountancy, including AAT, ACA and ATT/CTA qualifications, supporting you every step of the way.

We’re looking for people who are curious, collaborative and eager to learn—individuals who can bring fresh ideas, respect different perspectives, and want to build their career in a firm where they can truly belong.
