12-Month Accountancy Placement

Hazlewoods is one of the largest independent chartered accountants and business advisers in the Southwest, with around 600 employees across Gloucestershire, Bristol and Cardiff.

We provide specialist accountancy, tax, audit and business advice to a wide range of local, national and international businesses, from small owner-managed firms to multi-million-pound organisations.

Your development begins from day one - and it never stops.

You’ll have the chance to learn and grow through hands-on experience on real client projects, working alongside seasoned professionals who’ll support your journey. There will be plenty of opportunities to showcase your talents, helping you build both your knowledge and confidence.

And when your placement comes to an end, if you’ve demonstrated the qualities and potential we’re looking for—and if you’re keen to continue your career with us—we’ll offer you a place on our three-year graduate apprenticeship programme.

Through this, you’ll earn a professional ACA qualification and the equivalent of a Master’s degree. If you are offered a role in one of our tax teams, there is also the opportunity to obtain the CTA (Chartered Tax Adviser) qualification.

We have placement opportunities in various business areas:

Audit – providing insightful, tailored advice to help maximise the potential of every business we work with.

Tax – forward-thinking, creative and strategic planning advice, tailored to fit our clients’ personal and business objectives.

Accounts – Sector-specialist accounting and business advice for our diverse clients.

Corporate Finance – supporting clients through mergers, sales & acquisitions, raising finance and transaction services.
