Our minimum requirement is generally an honours degree (2:1 or above) in any discipline and no requirement for a work permit over the initial three year training contract..

Newly Qualified/Finalists

For those individuals, we are able to offer superb opportunities in a pro-active general practice. You would have responsibility for a portfolio of clients (under partner/manager supervision) and the ability to develop your technical skills in an excellent environment. We offer genuine career prospects to ambitious individuals and an attractive remuneration package.

Generally, we look for people who have recently completed the professional exams with ICAS, ACCA or ICAEW (or are about to do so) and have relevant practice experience within the UK.

To apply for such a vacancy, you may send your CV and covering letter to our Training Manager, Jenny Law.

Graduate Work Experience Placements

Within our offices, we offer students the chance to come and work for us for a few weeks over the summer. This gives the student the opportunity to see what working for a progressive, medium sized accountancy practice is really like before making any final decisions about what they want to do after graduation.

Other Work Experience Placements

At times, we also offer work experience placements through various local schools and colleges. If you are interested in such a placement please contact recruit@eqaccountants.co.uk

Accounting Technicians

We are often looking for bright, ambitious people who are looking towards further formal studies within a work environment. Generally, we look for people with the ability to study at university but who make the choice, for whatever reason, not to pursue this route. These positions may suit school/college leavers as no work experience is necessary.
