About the role
We're looking for talented individuals who bring initiative, creativity, and curiosity to the table. In return, you'll gain valuable hands-on experience, receive mentorship from some of the industry's best and earn recognised professional qualification. By the end of your Apprenticeship Programme, you'll be a well-rounded, commercially minded professional, ready to take on interesting and challenging responsibilities. Audit is a varied and highly client-facing career that gives you the opportunity to work with a wide range of organisations and understand how their businesses operate. You'll spend time working at MHA offices as well as regularly travelling to and working from client sites, so you'll need to be comfortable working in different environments, meeting new people, and representing MHA professionally. As some client locations may be more difficult to reach by public transport, being able to travel independently and having access to a car can be beneficial for this role. From an early stage, you'll build relationships with clients, ask questions, and gather the information and evidence you need to support your work, while collaborating closely with colleagues across the audit team.
Requirements
Achieved or predicted at least 112 UCAS points from your top three subjects (or equivalent). Comfortable in an evolving environment and enjoys solving a variety of challenges. Able to travel independently and having access to a car can be beneficial for this role.
