The UHY Hacker Young Group is a leading network of chartered accountants with 22 offices spanning England, Wales and Northern Ireland. We are also a founding member of UHY International, our Top 20 global network, which has over 318 offices in all major global business jurisdictions.
We are a people-first business, and we recognise that you, and the rest of our team, are essential to deliver on our purpose of helping you prosper, whether you are a client, a member of our team, or part of our wider community.
We provide a wide range of audit accounting, tax and business advisory services, as well as having established specialisms in the capital markets, litigation support, corporate finance, turnaround and recovery, VAT planning, interim and project management and financial services.
So you want a career in accounting?
But what type of accountant do you want to be? Do you want to work in a particular industry? Do you want to work with exciting start-up companies? Large blue-chip corporations? Specialise in a particular sector?
One of the great things about working in accounting is the variety of work and the different types of people and businesses you get to work with, but initially all that choice can be a bit daunting.
UHY Hacker Young is a great place to start, as we’re big enough to work in the majority of industries, offering the full spectrum of accounting services, with teams around the country that will help you throughout your training, and steer you towards a truly rewarding career.
Our people provide business critical advice in a commercial and pragmatic way, harnessing the power of our collaborative partners and our passionate teams. We welcome applications from all ages and backgrounds and simply look for people who share our passion and enthusiasm to ensure that our clients flourish.
Training and Support
Whether you are studying towards the ACA or ACCA qualification, we will encourage you to develop quickly and take on responsibility for assignments.
Your professional experience will come from learning on the job. There are opportunities in all work assignments to apply and develop your knowledge and to learn more by dealing with real business situations. You can also increase the variety of your work experience though secondments to specialist departments such as tax or corporate finance, or even other offices if relevant. Secondments demand new skills and expose you to a new range of business problems and client needs.
Your progress will be reviewed on a regular basis through:
- Written evaluation reports at the end of each assignment to assess your performance
- Meetings with your counselling manager to review progress every six months
- Formal reviews with your partner or line manager
We are proud of our record of exam successes – first time around. We will work with you and support you to fulfil your potential.
Making the most of your talents
As a qualified chartered accountant, you will hold an excellent business qualification and an immense number of opportunities are available to you within public practice, commerce and industry. We will encourage you to make the most of your talents. We will talk to you about your ambitions and we aim to provide the work experience you require for your success.
