You’ll learn about double-entry accounting, assurance, business and technology, law, management, and taxation. Professional Level: This level teaches you how to apply technical knowledge to real-life scenarios. You’ll deepen your knowledge on financial reporting, audit and assurance, tax compliance, finance management, business strategy, and business planning.

We are looking at the next generation to lead our practice. We are looking for quick learners who will be committed, work hard and sail through the ACA exams.

About the employer

For almost a century, since 1927, we’ve been giving businesses in Manchester, the North West and beyond, the space to turn their boldest ambitions into reality. All that accumulated experience gives us a certain confidence, which is why we didn’t hesitate to embrace cloud software (we’re Xero partners). Clarity is our thing. We’ve never subscribed to the idea that knowledge is power, or that there’s benefit in keeping clients confused.
