Placements and Work Experience

Three placement options

Industrial Placements- Year-long placements for undergraduate students

Work as a trainee accountant for a full year, starting in mid-August. You’ll fully experience accounting life as you’ll be training alongside our first-year graduate trainees. You’ll be placed in either our business advisory team (to learn general accounting) or in our audit team.

These are paid placements, and they could lead to ongoing employment with the firm. Students who live locally may be offered an ongoing internship during their final year at university. This would be a part-time paid role that enables you to continue working with us while you finish your degree.

In addition, successful industrial placement students may be made the offer of a permanent trainee job for after their degree. Our trainee offer includes fully funded training to achieve either the prestigious Chartered Accountant or Chartered Tax Advisor qualification, both of which are equivalent to a Masters’ degree.

You can apply for our industrial placements if you are a second-year undergraduate student on a four-year degree course, with a work placement in the third year. You can be studying any degree.

Summer Placements- Six-week placements for undergraduate students

As an undergraduate you can apply to join us for six weeks and you’ll get to work in teams such as Audit, Business Advisory or Tax. These are hands-on, varied and paid learning experiences.

The perfect time to apply is your penultimate year at university. You can work alongside a supportive and friendly team of experienced colleagues to find out if an accountancy career is for you.

You’ll be set a research topic and asked to prepare a short presentation about it. You’ll interview people across the firm, improving your knowledge, research and networking skills.

If you’re considering embarking on an ACA accountancy apprenticeship after university then this is a great way to take one for a test drive!

Work Experience- One week work experience for Year 12 students

Work experience for Year 12 students is available in most of our offices. Unfortunately, we cannot offer work experience to Year 10 pupils.
