  We understand that not everyone will come with these exact requirements. If your experience isn’t a complete match but you feel you could bring a lot to AG, we’d still encourage you to apply so that we can learn more about you!

Accountancy is a highly regulated field, and it’s important that we have processes in place to ensure we comply with all legal and ethical requirements. This not only ensures we meet professional standards, but shows that we are a trustworthy firm for our clients. We’re also passionate about developing our people, both in terms of soft skills and technical skills, including the trainees that join AG.
Our Technical and Training team provide, facilitate and co-ordinate training and development for all of our people and support the implementation of change projects, efficiency, regulation and quality improvements throughout Albert Goodman. We’re looking for a qualified individual to join this specialist team at either Senior or Assistant Manager level.
You’ll be supporting with a number of key activities including practice assurance, compliance, technical support and rolling out new processes. You’ll also play a pivotal part in delivering training reviews to trainees across AG, and supporting with the delivery of training topics such as ethics.
Day to day you may be developing technical training materials, supporting with the upkeep of our shared technical content, completing quality checks and annual reviews, and interacting with colleagues across the firm.
Our ideal candidate is someone proactive, and with the confidence to be an ambassador for compliance and processes. Naturally, being detail oriented helps with this, along with sound communication skills and flexibility to meet the changing needs of our business. From a training perspective, you’ll need to be comfortable coaching and supporting our trainee population, as well as delivering training on a wider basis.
