Job Description

This is an outstanding opportunity for an ambitious individual to join the UHY Hacker & Young graduate trainee accounting team from the Summer of 2020.

Our goal is to provide you with the very best tools, techniques and support, that will enable you to become an excellent ACA qualified chartered accountant.

As a Graduate Trainee Accountant, you will receive practical on the job training, as well as access to leading firms of accountancy tutors to help prepare you for the examinations of the professional accountancy bodies.

Based in the prestigious Jewellery quarter of Central Birmingham and operating out of our stunning modern city centre offices. This is genuinely a fabulous opportunity for a talented graduate to establish a career within a reputable organisation, whilst furthering their education through to chartered status.

You will be joining a young, fresh vibrant team and a fast-moving company, with an established history of supporting talented individuals straight out of University and integrating them into the corporate world.

As we work for both the public and private sector, training will range from preparing small sets of accounts for small organisations to providing consultancy advice and services specifically to public sector organisations with a turnover up to £800m.

The majority of our work is undertaken at client locations, which can be anywhere in the UK and Europe, although some of the work on smaller clients is office based.

We only recruit to senior management positions from staff having trained and qualified with us. So after you have qualified, we will continue to work with you to develop the management skills and technical knowledge required of a true senior finance business consultant.

As a small close-knit office, social activities are regularly organised by different members of staff.

In addition to this, each quarter the office gets together to discuss events of the previous 3 months, the strategy for the next 3 months, as well as having a good night out (paid for by the Partners!!).

Further information about the office, partners and their expertise can be found on the Birmingham UHY Hacker & Young website.

• Ideally, you will live or be willing to relocate to the Birmingham area.
• You will be naturally confident, an excellent communicator and enjoy meeting and engaging with people and clients at all levels of seniority.
• Your organisational skills will be exemplary with real attention to detail.
