Sagars is a professional practice of the future, but we’ve been in business long enough to know that the game is won or lost at the recruitment stage, so we only hire the very best people.

We also know that the goals of the butcher, the baker and the candlestick maker will be different to those of the lawyer, the farmer and the professional sports star, which is why our advice and support is bespoke, making for interesting and varied work.

Our 100-strong Leeds-based team are national award-winners and a super-safe pair of hands when it comes to providing audit, accounting, tax and business advisory support. And, following our merger with Scottish firm Anderson, Anderson, Brown, we’re now part of the AAB Group which has 550+ employees and 10 offices across the UK and Ireland, offering greater career and development opportunities.

Join us as a trainee and, with the support of your own mentor and our experienced team, you’ll get the very best technical training and practical work experience to help you gain qualification – CFAB/ACA, AAT/ACCA or AAT/ACA for audit, accounting and business advisory career paths, and ATT/CTA or ACA/CTA for candidates specialising in tax.

You’ll need ABB grades at A level (or equivalent) and, if you’re joining our graduate programme, a 2:1 degree in any discipline. We’re looking for natural relationship builders and enthusiastic team players with energy, commitment, a thirst for knowledge and a good sense of humour – if this sounds like you then you’ll fit right in, and you can enjoy:

• paid study leave
• paid overtime
• bonus scheme
• competitive salary
• paid course and exam fees
• pension scheme contributions
• generous holiday allowance
• agile and hybrid working
• social and charitable events
• wellbeing platform
• personal coach and on the job mentoring
• early responsibility and wide variety of work
• support of an experienced and knowledgeable team

Two of our partners, two of our directors and lots of our senior managers joined us as trainees – proof of the excellent career prospects that exist.

Realise your potential and enjoy a wealth of opportunities in a trainee role at Sagars.
