Feed your ambition. Deliver your future.

We believe the best way to kickstart your career is by becoming a valued member of our team, gaining valuable hands-on experience. With a proven development path that leads to accountancy qualifications, our apprenticeship lays the groundwork for a successful career in Finance.

Over the 3-year placement, you'll work closely with Senior Finance Leaders and Business Partners as a member of our regional finance team. You'll be given responsibility from day one, gradually gaining more as you increase your experience and knowledge.

Through annual rotational placements, you'll gain valuable experience in each of the following areas, helping you develop a comprehensive understanding of finance operations and their role in supporting business objectives:

  • Financial Planning and Analysis
  • Management Accounting
  • Financial Reporting
  • Taxation and Compliance
  • Audit and Assurance
  • Treasury and Cash Management
  • Business Partnering

Here are some of the things we'll teach you to do:

  • Collaborate with Sales teams to judge the financial suitability of new business.
  • Review, challenge and approve customer pricing and contracts.
  • Help prepare accurate reports and performance analysis.
  • Become a point of contact for any internal finance-related queries.
  • Prepare ad-hoc reports and presentations.
  • Act as an ambassador for Finance, promoting cross-functional collaboration and knowledge-sharing.

And here's what you'll receive in return:

  • Competitive salary of £28,000 per annum + benefits package.
  • Structured training and development programs.
  • Exposure to a wide range of finance functions.
  • Mentoring and guidance from industry experts.
  • Clear career progression path.
  • Opportunity for a Full time role upon successful completion of the apprenticeship.

This is what you'll need:

  • A relevant undergraduate degree

  • Strong attention to detail and numerical proficiency.
  • The ability to work effectively in a team and independently.
  • Excellent communication and interpersonal skills.
  • A strong interest in pursuing a career in finance and working towards your CIMA qualification.

Although we're offering a hybrid working contract, you will be expected to join us in our Ashford, Kent office several times a week, so you'll need to live within commuting distance.

How to apply:

Please submit your application and CV through the careers site. Once you've applied, you'll be invited to complete a psychometric assessment. Shortlisted candidates will then be booked in for a face-to-face interview at the Ashford office.
