ACA Graduate Scheme

When you join our ACA graduate training scheme, you sign up to much more than a qualification. You join the Blick Rothenberg culture and way of life.

Successful applicants to our 3-year ACA training scheme will enjoy early responsibility and will find our culture to be friendly and nurturing.

Blick Rothenberg will provide you with regular training opportunities including courses such as transition to work and effective communication skills. We will support you in developing your career from a trainee through to partner.

We are small enough that no one need ever feel that they are simply a cog in a machine, yet large enough to offer exciting and satisfying work.

You will spend time working amongst a variety of teams as part of your training and will be supported with significant training and development opportunities.

Some of our partners either trained with us or joined us shortly after qualifying, so there is always scope for good trainees to build a fulfilling and successful career with us.

Please use the link below to apply and be considered for next year’s ACA graduate scheme.

A typical assignment might last a couple of weeks, some more, some less. You start as a junior member of a team of two to four people.

After a year or so, perhaps earlier, you start planning and carrying out small assignments on your own, first at our offices where you can easily turn to other team members for support, then at a client’s premises.

As you gain experience and seniority, you will be given the opportunity to start leading audit teams and take on additional responsibilities.

You will exercise judgement and professional scepticism, show initiative and take responsibility and we will give you the support to do just that.

You will be able to collaborate and learn from experts within other areas teams in order to gain a well-rounded understanding of our profession.

In the past, we have been able to offer secondments to corporate and personal tax to those students interested. As our business has grown a number of our trainees have been able to develop their careers outside of Audit whilst remaining with us including joining our Private Client and internal Audit and Finance teams.

We also handle litigation support work, personal tax, personal financial planning, company registration work, trust administration and fully outsourced business services solutions for clients expanding across multiple territories.

For us, the personal attributes of each of our colleagues are what makes us authentic in the marketplace. We look for people who can collaborate with peers but can also bring their own voice to the table. We want people who are dynamic in their approach and respectful of other people’s opinions. We are looking for someone who wants to be more than just a team member, someone who wants to join a family of individuals who are able to bring their own personal experiences and interests to the role.

We look for students who really want to work in a medium-sized firm such as ours – we are not a cut-down version of the Big 4 but exist very much on our own terms and in our own right. We are looking for someone with is keen to develop a long-lasting career in audit, is inquisitive enjoys learning new concepts and enjoys working with others. We are not looking for someone who knows everything already, but someone who is keen to work hard and learn.

To ensure our candidates come from a diverse range of backgrounds and universities, we have removed our A-level and GCSE requirements from all graduate schemes.

We welcome applications from all candidates who have or are set to achieve a 2:2 or above in their undergraduate degree.

Unfortunately, we are unable to process applications from candidates who have previously applied.
