Graduate Audit Trainee (ACA)

at  Saffery

OPPORTUNITY DETAILS

Right now, we’re looking for university graduates wanting to start their career in audit as a trainee chartered accountant, studying towards the ACA qualification.

ABOUT THE QUALIFICATION

We offer a three-year ACA training contract under a Level 7 apprenticeship.
Studying as an apprentice won’t impact the time it takes you to complete the qualification, it just means that there’s a defined study pathway in place to ensure you have the best chance to succeed. You’ll gain technical knowledge and key skills/behaviours to maximise your potential in the role.

WHO WE ARE

Saffery is a partner-led and people-focused firm of chartered accountants, tax and business advisers. Since 1855, we’ve built long-term relationships with our diverse, high-profile clients, across varied and specialised sectors. As a proud member of Nexia, a worldwide network of trusted member firms, we’ve got access to local insight on a global scale.
We pride ourselves on our informal and inclusive culture, building an environment where people can be themselves and enjoy challenging, interesting, rewarding careers.
When you work with Saffery, the well-respected accountancy firm where heritage meets ambition, you work with people who know your name. Who know you as a human being, not just a job title. Everyone belongs here. Always.

Qualifying is not just about passing your exams; gaining valuable work experience is so important.
You’ll work in a friendly and progressive environment on audit and accounts preparation assignments, with exposure to clients from different industries. We guarantee an exciting and varied learning experience.
We’ll show you each part of a file review. You’ll learn what information you need from a client and liaise directly with them. You may start with audit testing of simpler balances within financial statements, such as cash at bank and share capital, and then progress to income and expenditure testing.
By the end of your training contract, you’ll be comfortable handling whole files by yourself, preparing you for progression into a senior audit role.
You’ll also receive excellent training and support for your studies. We use first-class tuition centres and organise our own off-site trainee programmes. You’ll get to meet and socialise with trainees across all offices, so it isn’t all just work, and you can have fun too.
