A major benefit of training with a medium size firm is that you will quickly gain experience working on all aspects of an audit engagement in an environment which is set up to ensure you are supported, engaged and develop the requisite skills to become a valued member of the audit team. We ensure you work across a variety of clients however if you have an interest in a particular sector, we do try and structure your development to accommodate your preferences.  You will work closely and collaboratively alongside trainees who are also progressing through the ACA programme as well as with the senior managers and directors of the firm who will mentor you as you progress through your career.
