Be the accountant of the future. Register early. Get ahead.

Choosing where to start your career is a big decision - and registering your interest with us now gets you one step ahead before our placement, apprentice and graduate applications open in September, to join us in September 2027.

Last year, more than 20,000 people applied to join our early career trainee programmes. By signing up early, you’ll be among the first to hear when applications open - and you’ll gain access to our exclusive, invite only webinar series taking place over the summer, created to help you explore your options and prepare with confidence.

Who we’re looking for

We’re looking for people who want to shape the future - not follow it. You don’t need to have studied accounting, we welcome individuals from all backgrounds, experiences and education routes. You don’t need to have all the answers, what matters most is your potential, but you do need:

  • Curiosity and a willingness to learn
  • An interest in understanding how organisations work
  • A collaborative mindset
  • Motivation to grow and take ownership of your development
  • The confidence to bring your ideas, individuality and perspective

Whether you're finishing school, completing university, or exploring work experience, we offer a range of programmes designed to match different starting points and ambitions. 

  • Apprenticeships
    • Earn while you learn on a structured pathway that combines real client work, professional qualifications and long‑term career development.
  • Graduate Programmes
    • A full‑time route into professional services with hands‑on experience from day one, tailored training, and support as you work towards industry‑recognised qualifications.
  • Internships & Work Placements
    • Shorter, immersive experiences that help you understand our firm, develop your skills, and explore whether a career in audit, tax or advisory feels right for you.

Why join us? 

We’re a firm where you’ll have real responsibility, real support, and real impact from day one. Our culture is inclusive, people first and built on ambition, trust and flexibility. 

Over the past year we’ve made bold decisions other firms wouldn’t attempt at our scale: new investment, new ownership models, and a partnership that’s expanding at pace. The result? Progression that moves faster than traditional firms can offer, and development pathways designed for potential, not tenure.

We’re investing heavily in digital not for the headline, but for the head start it gives our people - freeing them to solve bigger problems with sharper tools. 

And while ambition is high, you’ll still find a culture where hierarchy stays light, inclusion is lived rather than stated, and flexibility is shaped around how people do their best work - not how it has always been done

With structured training, coaching, and a community that wants you to succeed, you won’t just build a career - you’ll build a future you’re proud of.
