Shipleys is an 19 partner firm of Chartered Accountants and professional business advisors, based in London’s glamorous West End. We’re looking to recruit a number of graduates who aspire to become chartered accountants. We have high standards and are looking for candidates with excellent academic qualifications as well as drive, ambition and a thirst for success.

What can you expect from a career with Shipleys?

We are a medium-sized firm and every member of our team makes an important contribution. You‘re not at the same stage in your career as everybody else is in theirs, and what matters to you is likely to be different from what’s important to some of your colleagues and peers. We are a friendly bunch at Shipleys and it’s a place where you can be yourself – finding your niche and making your mark.

Our approach to our team is similar to our approach to our clients – very much based on individuals and their aspirations. Whilst the firm is very well known in a number of niche markets such as energy, financial services, and film and television production, overall we look after a wide range of clients so there is plenty of opportunity to build your experience with clients in many different industries.

Roles tend to be very interactive with more exposure to clients and others outside the firm than is often the case elsewhere. We aim to build on our professional expertise to provide proactive business advice and planning to our clients – helping to “make it happen”- providing an excellent service that’s worth the cost and which contributes to our reputation as a trusted advisor. People work hard when they are here, but we also do expect them to go home!

In larger firms, trainees often spend much of their training confined to audit work because of the sheer scale of audit work. Audit work is just one small aspect of an assignment and in a medium size firm such as Shipleys, you can benefit from having exposure to many different areas of client work, such as accountancy and tax, as well as gaining client relationship skills.

In addition, you’ll tend to work with far more clients in a medium size firm (giving you a broad ranging experience) because the time spent at each client tends to be far less than that of a larger firm.

With a medium size firm, you’ll also benefit from involvement from the firm’s Partners, who will take a direct interest in your development and support you through your training.

Make an impact, be our future.

We at Brebners are looking to recruit a number of graduates, who aspire to become Chartered Accountants. We have high standards and are looking for candidates with excellent academic qualifications as well as drive, ambition and a hunger for success.

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.

Who are we?

Our partner-led approach ensures that our clients receive high quality service from a team of high quality people. Combining technical expertise with personal integrity, we offer audit, accounting and business advisory services, as well as advice on corporate and personal tax matters.

Our partners and people focus on working collaboratively with businesses and individuals, so that we understand a business’s overall affairs and can advise effectively. We want to build strong, long-lasting relationship and recognise that every client is unique, so that we can recommend bespoke, integrated solutions that will deliver on their objectives.

We offer a supportive, friendly, and challenging work environment. We place a high emphasis on both corporate and social responsibility and employee engagement, and a number of related activities take place throughout the year.

We are committed to improving the diversity of our workforce across all levels by building a culture that’s genuinely inclusive, a culture where everyone can fulfil their potential and can be themselves.

We seek to attract smart talented people from the widest talent pool as well as those that reflect the diversity of the communities we live and work in.

BR supports flexible working (BRighter working) and aims to allow you to balance your life with the needs of colleagues and the high expectations of our clients.

What’s in it for you?

When you join Blick Rothenberg, you sign up to much more than a qualification. You join the Blick Rothenberg culture and way of life. You will enjoy early responsibility and will find our business to be friendly and our working environment to be both lively and stimulating. Few other firms will be able to offer you the opportunity to work with a client base of such quality and diversity in such a personal environment.

As a medium-sized tax, accounting and business advisory firm, we are small enough that no one need ever feel that they are simply a cog in a machine, yet large enough to offer challenging and satisfying work. You will spend time working amongst a variety of teams as part of your training and will be supported with significant training and development opportunities.

We recruit trainees into a variety of business areas, including Tax, Audit and Accountancy. You don’t need a degree to work at Blick Rothenberg, as you can join through one of our AAT, CFAB or ATT school leaver schemes. These schemes will give you the foundations you need for a successful career as an auditor, accountant or tax advisor, and we can take you all the way to become fully qualified.

We hire over 70 trainees into our London offices each year, and welcome applicants from a diverse range of backgrounds.
