HW Fisher |

HW Fisher is proud to be part of the Sumer Group – one of the UK’s fastest-growing accountancy practices. Together, we’re creating brighter futures for our people, our clients, and our communities.

We’re a well-established and highly respected UK Chartered Accountancy Firm based in London. We deliver expert audit, tax, accounting and advisory services to a diverse range of clients, from entrepreneurial SMEs to large corporates and high-net-worth individuals. 

We are a people-focused business – we have a strong training programme and engage early careers joiners of a variety of levels and in a range of disciplines. If you are looking for a rewarding career, ultimately with a professional qualification at the end of it, but within a friendly, productive and developing culture, then we look forward to receiving your application.

We pride ourselves on our application process being straightforward and personal. Applicants should complete an online form through our website, detailing academic achievements, employment history, hobbies and interests, and why an accountancy career is for you. You can stop your application and come back to it to allow you to think about your answers. Those who pass the first review are invited to attend an interview.

We run our graduate interviews in person as group sessions, and candidates undertake various assessments in line with our core values. A panel is always on hand, mainly made up of people who have been through the process previously and have now worked their way up to manager and beyond. A final stage interview happens for successful candidates, which is a one-to-one meeting with a partner, which can take place virtually or in-person. An offer will hopefully follow!

We look for people who can work hard and demonstrate a strong work ethic. Our ideal candidates can collaborate and communicate well, and we encourage new ideas and initiatives to be shown. Never be afraid to ask questions!

We have a strong set of values that define who we are and everything we do:

• WE SHINE TOGETHER – We celebrate everyone’s individuality, and work as one team.
• WE DO THE RIGHT THING – We act with kindness, fairness and integrity in everything we do.
• WE MAKE IT COUNT – We’re quietly brave as we make a difference, every day, for our clients and communities.

Our trainees roles offer a competitive benefits package, including full study support and funded exams and courses, as well social events and a flexible working policy. Trainees joining us should expect:

• Full study support, including paid study leave and course fees
• Buddy and mentoring systems to help you settle in and progress
• Group-wide cohort training through the Sumer Academy
• Opportunities to grow your career beyond qualification
• Exposure to a diverse range of clients and projects

At Sumer, we are committed to fostering an inclusive and diverse work environment, not just as buzzwords, but as the heartbeat of our team. Our recruitment practices reflect this commitment, welcoming individuals from all backgrounds. We prioritise creating an environment where every candidate feels respected and supported throughout the hiring process.

Everyone is unique and we understand that each individual may have distinct needs to showcase their best selves during interviews. Our commitment is to offer personalised support for all candidates. Let our team know how we can bring out your fullest potential.
