Team Overview

With more than 130 audit specialists, 6 Partners and strong administrative support, we are one of the largest single office charity teams in the UK. You will have the opportunity to audit, advise, support, and become a specialist in a wide range of sectors within charities and not-for-profit organisations, including but not limited to the education sector (universities, colleges, academies), membership bodies, dynamic social enterprises, international NGOs, religious organisations and Arts and Culture charities. The team has a training ethos with a focus on taking on school-leavers who want to build an audit career working with charities and not-for-profit organisations.

The Role

In addition to providing quality accounting and auditing services to clients within the Charity and Not-For-Profit team, you will study towards the Association of Accounting Technicians (AAT) Level 3 and Level 4 qualification under a structured apprenticeship programme, building not only on your technical skills, but also on your personal and professional development.

After completion of the AAT, continued career progression is supported with a view of further study towards becoming an Associate Chartered Accountant (ACA). Studying towards these professional qualifications, as well as learning from our team of specialists on a daily basis, ensures you are well equipped with the knowledge to help advance you through your career.

Training consists of a combination of courses at the tutors’ offices, private study and regular exams, as well as on-the-job training. You will have paid study leave to support you in the run up to exams and all course and exam fees are paid for.
