Job Description
Right now, we're looking for university graduates or career changers wanting to start their career in audit as a trainee, studying towards the ACCA qualification. This will take three years to complete.
We've found it gives you a much better chance of success with your exams if you're studying the full ACCA programme with a cohort, so please note we don't offer exemptions.
