This opportunity is aimed at undergraduates pursuing a 'sandwich degree' who are seeking practical work experience in audit and finance before committing to a career in the profession. We offer the chance to fully understand working life and the unique culture we have at MHA. This is a paid internship lasting for 12 months, where you will embark on a transformative journey where your skills will flourish, and your aspirations will be nurtured.

At MHA, people come first, our colleagues, our clients, and the communities we support. In 2026, we ranked as number 11 in the UK's top accountancy firms and a proud member of Baker Tilly International, the world's 8th largest network, we combine global insight with a strong local commitment. Our people-centred approach is what truly makes us different. You will be welcomed as a valued member of a collaborative, purpose-led team. We are committed to continuous learning, growth, and creating an environment where everyone can thrive and be themselves. We are proud to hold the Investors in People Gold award, recognising our commitment to supporting, developing, and valuing every individual. Here, You'll Go Beyond Numbers At MHA, you will be surrounded by passionate professionals who are committed to making a difference. Your work in Audit will go beyond the numbers, we believe in hands-on learning. You'll be doing real work on real projects, not just shadowing. While you'll receive mentorship and guidance, we prefer you to learn through extensive and practical on-the-job training. Audit is a varied and highly client-facing career that gives you the opportunity to work with a wide range of organisations and understand how their businesses operate. You'll spend time working at MHA offices as well as regularly travelling to and working from client sites, so you'll need to be comfortable working in different environments, meeting new people, and representing MHA professionally. As some client locations may be more difficult to reach by public transport, being able to travel independently and having access to a car can be beneficial for this role. From an early stage, you'll build relationships with clients, ask questions, and gather the information and evidence you need to support your work, while collaborating closely with colleagues across the audit team. You'll develop your understanding of financial information and business processes, carry out testing and analytical work, and use your curiosity and professional judgement to explore
