Finance Apprenticeships - Assistant Accountant roles

This is a fantastic opportunity for bright and committed school leavers or recent graduates to join a high-performance global finance team in a world-leading professional services firm and work towards a professional finance qualification. We are recruiting a cohort of apprentices to join our Finance team in London. Some of these Assistant Accountant roles will be largely dedicated to one team, with short secondments to other teams, while others offer the opportunity to gain experience in multiple teams over the course of the apprenticeship. As an Assistant Accountant in our Finance team, you will have a role in providing a high-quality service to the firm's 500+ partners and/or business units across the world through a wide range of regular and ad hoc financial and administrative processes. Working closely with finance and tax colleagues at the London head office and across the globe, each role is varied and challenging. They all offer opportunities to gain a wide range of skills and experience through on-the-job training, in-house training programmes, support from friendly, approachable and experienced finance colleagues and full support towards a finance qualification (ACCA).

We are looking for candidates with:

• An interest in, and commitment to, a career in finance, accounting and tax
• Excellent interpersonal and communication skills to deal with partners and top management
• Strong problem-solving skills
