Graduates
Our Professional Qualification Scheme (PQS) has been carefully designed to offer you a challenging career. From day one you'll be out on site, meeting people and gathering information. You'll interview client staff to gain an understanding of their systems, carrying out analysis, audit accounts and report your findings. And by working alongside experienced auditors, you'll gain valuable skills in auditing some of Scotland's councils, health boards and government departments.
We want to help you develop a career that's varied and worthwhile, as well as stimulating and rewarding. To do this we offer structured induction training, and you'll receive full sponsorship leading to your chartered accountancy and audit qualification.
As part of the scheme, you will be sponsored through a CCAB qualification (Consultative Committee of Accountancy Bodies). Contact us if you would like further information. Our professional qualification scheme is designed to give you the best chance of qualifying as well as a great foundation for your career.
Once you qualify you will become eligible to apply for permanent positions (subject to your performance and our resource requirements). We have a strong track record of our trainee auditors moving into permanent auditor roles which can attract a starting salary of £27,500 - £30,000 per annum. Those with the greatest potential can expect to progress to higher senior grades which attract higher rewards and responsibility.
When you start studying towards your accountancy qualification you will be given support every step of the way with study leave, as well as financial help for travel and other study expenses. We also give you the chance to take part in a trainee networking opportunities provided for and run by trainees themselves each year. In all, we bring together a healthy mix of study, real work and interesting people, to give you the chance to achieve your ambitions with us.
