Our Assurance & Business Services Team

Many businesses need to reassure investors and other stakeholders of their financial performance, even where a full audit isn’t necessary, appropriate, or required by law. The team you’ll be joining provides wide-reaching financial advisory services to international clients across a number of industries and a diverse client base, ranging from small businesses and family enterprise start-ups to non-profit organisations.

As part of our Assurance & Business Services team you could be working directly with managing and financial directors in different working environments at their own offices, checking that numbers stack up with fact. This means providing advice and solutions that really make a difference.

Many of our audits last just one or two weeks, which means you'll quickly gain exposure to a variety of businesses. You'll also build valuable client experience, developing the knowledge and skills needed to be an effective auditor and trusted business adviser. Alongside your work, you'll receive first-class professional training as you study for the Associate Chartered Accountant (ACA) qualification, which will enable you to gain a full understanding of the technical aspects of audit and accountancy and additional financial advisory services.

As a school leaver in our Assurance & Business Services team your responsibilities will include:

  • Working as part of a team to undertake a variety of audit and accountancy tasks
  • Developing an understanding of our clients and their business portfolios
  • Keeping senior stakeholders informed of project updates
  • Becoming familiar with our audit and accounting software
  • Resolving queries, whether of an audit or accountancy nature
  • Prioritising tasks whilst monitoring time against budget

To be successful in this role, you should meet the following requirements:

  • Committed to completing the Associate Chartered Accountant (ACA) qualification, on a Level 7 apprenticeship
  • A Level: Obtained or predicted a minimum 112 UCAS points in top three A Levels (or equivalent), excluding General Studies
  • GCSE: Minimum Grade 5 (or equivalent), in English Language and Maths respectively
