Azets has announced a national recruitment drive which will see 900 roles being added across its UK business over the next 12 months.
The roles cover all levels, from associate through to partner, and service lines including audit and assurance, accounting and advisory business services, corporate finance, tax, and restructuring.
Overall, the firm expects to hire up to 400 graduates and school leavers to join in September 2023, which is 100 more than this year’s cohort of 300 joining next month and double last year’s intake of 200.
Azets is also providing opportunities to T Level students, the new intense technical vocational qualifications introduced by the government in 2020.
Through targeting the over-50s, Azets hopes to fill at least 10% of its vacancies with returning retirees and career breakers.
This recruitment drive marks the latest milestone on Azets’ journey to increase revenue by 50% in the next five years through organic and acquisitive growth.
Rachel Rennison, group head of talent acquisition at Azets, said: “This is an exciting time to join Azets as we welcome new talented advisors into the firm and keep delivering against our growth ambition. Next year we will double our intake of trainees compared with 2021, as part of a wider recruitment drive to fill more than 900 roles within our UK Group businesses.”
Paul Clifford, regional CEO at Azets UK, added: “The workspace has changed, as has the type of support needed by our clients. That’s why we are embracing hybrid working, to deliver an experience that suits both our employees and our clients.
“Digitisation is key to our investment strategy as we know our clients want top quality advice and rapid access to information at any given time, and staff want the flexibility and freedom to integrate work with other important commitments.”
