About Baker Tilly

Thinking about the future? Of course you are. But now’s the time to start doing something about it.

Baker Tilly is one of the UK’s leading independent firms of accountants and business advisers and the 7th largest in the UK. We have over 4,000 partners and staff generating a fee income in excess of £350 million. As one of the UK’s three principal mid-market accountancy firms, our people are dedicated to delivering the complete spectrum of audit, tax, accounts, outsourcing, corporate finance, restructuring and recovery, risk advisory and consulting services across all imaginable sectors and from offices right across the UK.

The Role

Typically our placement opportunities run for a period of 1 year within the Audit team.
Clients of the Audit department tend to be companies with a turnover of up to £150million per annum forming the majority of the client base. Our client base is diverse, providing the opportunity to learn about different types of organisations from varying industry sectors.

Aside from the statutory audit of the financial statements of companies, the department handles specialist work such as the audits of pension schemes, charities and grant claims, as well as due diligence and other transaction-related projects.

Our placement students play a key role in supporting the work described above and gain tremendous experience to provide top a great start to their future career. You will benefit from on the job training and working closely with experienced team members, as well as joining peers on internal training courses that will develop you as an individual.

Trainees will become involved in client work very quickly, initially working as part of a larger team – perhaps taking responsibility for specific audit tests or aspects of the audit file.

Requirements

You’ll need to bring a minimum of five GCSEs at grades A to C (including at least a grade B in Maths and English Language), or a minimum of five Standard Grades at grades 1 to 3 (including at least a grade 2 in Maths and English Language). Plus at least 280 UCAS points (excluding General Studies), or equivalent and a minimum of a 2.1 expected or obtained degree (or an ordinary degree if studying or obtained from a Scottish university). But we’ll be looking for more than just academic achievement. We’d like to see something out of the ordinary, the kind of uniqueness that makes you, you. Put that together with the determination to make the most of this fantastic opportunity, and we’ll do the rest.
