Work

Most of your apprenticeship is spent working. You’ll learn on the job by getting hands-on experience.

  • Engage with clients to understand their systems and processes, attend year-end stocktakes, and contribute to audit testing and reporting in small teams
  • Deliver high-quality work by managing deadlines, ensuring data accuracy, and collaborating with your team to meet client expectations

You’ll be supported every step of the way - by peers, mentors, and even our Partners. We’ll give you structure, but also the freedom to grow at your own pace.
