Together with the University of Leeds, we’ve launched Talent Track, a four-year Accountancy and Finance programme with a difference.
This programme blends academic study with paid, hands-on experience at our firm, providing a clear route into a graduate role so you can qualify sooner and start your career ahead of the curve.
Benefit from University of Leeds’ ACA qualification exemptions and fast-track your journey to becoming fully qualified within 21 months post-graduation, rather than the usual 36 months.
Every step of Talent Track is structured to lead you into a graduate role with us. You could even secure a full-time role at our firm when you finish the graduate programme.
We invest in your future through mentoring, insight sessions and development opportunities, including multiple placement opportunities throughout your degree programme alongside a full-time paid placement in your third year.
Connect with our people, experience our culture and form relationships that will support your career long after graduation.
You’ll pay your tuition fees, but we’ll guarantee paid work placements throughout your studies. A bursary fund is also available for students who meet the eligibility criteria.
Why the University of Leeds?
Learn from academic experts at a world-renowned Business School: You'll study your BSc Accounting and Finance at the triple-accredited Leeds University Business School. This well-established undergraduate degree is led by highly qualified, experienced professionals and world-renowned academics, giving you a strong accounting and finance knowledge base in preparation for your career.
Reputation for excellence in accountancy and finance: The University of Leeds is consistently ranked among the UK’s best for Accounting and Finance, including joint top 20th by the QS World University Rankings by Subject 2025. We’ve seen this quality firsthand in our top-performing associates who studied with the University before joining us.
Strong industry links and faster progression: The University is one of only a handful of UK universities offering exemptions for professional qualifications (ACA) and is an approved ICAEW partner. This means you’ll move towards full qualification much faster than most graduates.
