Are you seeking an apprenticeship that will see you through to Chartered Accountant status in three years? Hazlewoods’ ACA Apprenticeship is a professional Level 7 qualification, equivalent to a Master’s. If you have an interest in tax, our joint ACA/CTA programme offers you both Chartered Accountant and Chartered Tax Adviser status in four years

These apprenticeships are open to students from any degree discipline. What’s more important is that you have a passion for finance/accountancy, an enquiring mind with all-round great communication and teamworking skills. You will learn from experienced managers and colleagues who are on hand to support and guide you throughout your apprenticeship journey.

Being an accountant isn’t about simple ‘number-crunching’, we are looking for people who can think creatively, are great communicators and who enjoy developing strong relationships with their team as well as our clients.

In return, we will offer you a rewarding and supportive environment in which to work and study. Having a designated manager and buddy, you will always have someone to talk to. To unwind, we offer an exciting programme of social events including an all-staff Christmas party alongside numerous charity events. Your mental health and wellbeing are also a priority – we have Mental Health First Aiders and events throughout the year supporting staff wellness such as free massage sessions.

Now you’ve finished your degree, join us to begin your accountancy career.

We are one of the largest independent chartered accountants and business advisers in the Southwest, with over 550 staff across Gloucestershire, Bristol and Cardiff.

We are delighted to have won ‘Best Tax Practice in a Regional Firm’ in the 2022 Tolley’s Taxation Awards.

Equivalent to a Master’s degree, our Level 7 joint programme enables you to become a Chartered Accountant and Chartered Tax Adviser within four years, gaining two highly respected qualifications.

As an apprentice, you’ll engage in client work within a supportive and inclusive team. Our apprentices collaborate with a diverse range of clients across various industry sectors, providing a rewarding and comprehensive experience.

Hazlewoods supports your growth and development by assigning a manager and buddy throughout the programme.
