Armstrong Watson has announced that it has taken on 51 trainees and graduates, a record number for the firm.
Among the new starters are 17 AAT students and two ATT students who will be working towards their apprenticeship qualifications in accounting and tax compliance.
There are also 28 ACA graduates who will work towards becoming Chartered Accountants.
In addition, the firm has recruited two ACCA students in Restructuring and Insolvency as well as two payroll apprentices.
Based at the firm’s offices across the north of England and Scotland, the trainees and graduates will receive hands-on experience throughout their studies as they work towards their qualifications.
Richard Andrew, partner and head of Accounting, said: “We continue to invest in our training programme every year and develop talented accountants of the future. I’m so proud of the training, support and development our students receive from our dedicated training manager Karen Blaylock and really believe our programme, and the experience our trainees receive, is unrivalled in the sector.”
Paul Dickson, CEO and managing partner, added: “Our people are our business as without them we would be unable to provide solutions for our clients. Our training programme provides us with an incredible pool of talent, many of which go on to have successful careers within the business.”
The firm is now on the lookout for its 2024 intake of ACA trainee Chartered Accountants, with places available at its six offices in Scotland and North of England.
