The ACCA Programme

Join us as an ACCA Trainee and kickstart your career with a globally recognised qualification. You'll gain hands-on experience while working with diverse clients across various industries. With ongoing support from mentors and training managers, you'll develop a broad skill set and accelerate your career progression. This is a fantastic opportunity to build expertise, gain practical experience, and unlock exciting career opportunities in accounting and finance as part of a supportive, inclusive team.

Our Risk, Assurance and Advisory team plays a vital role in assisting our clients to achieve their strategic objectives. They do this through providing assurance and consulting services to improve our clients’ governance, risk management, and control processes, adding value and ensuring operations are effective, efficient, and compliant.

Essentially, this means that they will undertake a systematic review of internal systems, processes, and controls to identify weaknesses, and recommend improvements for better decision-making and overall performance.

You'll work with predominantly not-for-profit public sector businesses and organisations to evaluate how well risks are being managed, how the business is running, and if current internal processes are sufficient or could be improved.
