Sagars Graduate Training Programme (ACA /CTA)

Realise your potential and enjoy a wealth of opportunities in a graduate role at Sagars.

We are now inviting applications for graduates to join Sagars in Spring and Summer 2024.  Opportunities exist to join either the audit, business advisory group, private client or corporate tax teams.  Successful applicants will gain quality work experience with us whilst studying for the ACA qualification with the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales (ICAEW) under a Level 7 Accounting Professional Apprenticeship.
