Accountancy Placement

Looking to kick-start your career in accountancy by gaining vital work experience for one-year as part of your university degree? Then look no further!

As an Assistant on the SRLV Student Placement Programme you will be provided with the opportunity to broaden your accountancy knowledge and build upon theoretical experience as part of a friendly, supportive and technically strong team within a growing firm in London’s West End.

With responsibility for duties such as bookkeeping; tour reconciliations; making, monitoring and reporting on bank payments and providing high-level administrative support, this is a really exciting opportunity for an ambitious and hard-working undergraduate to gain practical experience.
