The intake of trainee accountants will be studying under the firm’s apprenticeship scheme, rated ‘Good’ by Ofsted in 2022. This year the firm was also shortlisted in the Apprenticeship of the Year awards for the quality of its programmes.

Students will be studying for a range of qualifications including the ICAEW Chartered Accountant qualification (ACA), Association of Taxation Technicians (ATT), Association of Chartered Certified Accountants (ACCA), and Certificate in Finance and Business (CFAB) qualifications.

The intake includes a mix of GCSE, A-level, graduates, and industrial placement students joining the apprenticeship scheme.

Karen Thompson, head of learning and development, said: “This year we have seen our highest student intake yet! At Kreston Reeves we pride ourselves on helping students kickstart their careers and guiding them throughout, to ensure they achieve their best results!”

This scheme helps students from all backgrounds to pursue a career whilst gaining qualification along the way. We are always aiming to help guide them to a brighter future.”
