Our trainees will have direct contact with clients and their staff.

We will help you to get the right mix of work experience and expect you to take responsibility for projects and people as soon as you are ready. In addition, you will also acquire strong IT, communication and management skills.

And work is split between our St Albans office and out at clients’ premises – with the majority of travel being within the Hertfordshire area, but, occasionally further afield.

We use a leading firm of accountancy tutors.

They help you prepare for and pass your examinations. The exam study method they implement, which we have found to be the most effective, is a combination of a home study programme and study leave to attend courses spread throughout the duration of your three year training contract.
