Join a Top 20 Accountancy Firm That's Growing Fast

At TC Group, we're more than accountants. We're trusted business advisors helping ambitious entrepreneurs, SMEs and larger organisations achieve their goals.

As one of the UK's fastest-growing Top 20 accountancy firms, we're proud of our people-first culture, our collaborative approach and our commitment to helping both our clients and our colleagues succeed.

We're looking for a talented Trainee Accountant/Auditor to join our London team. If you're looking for a role where your ideas are valued, your development is supported and your contribution genuinely makes a difference, we'd love to hear from you.

The Opportunity

We have an exciting role for a Trainee Accountant/Auditor in one of our London offices. TC Citroen Wells has 12 partners and around 50 employees, affording the benefits of training with a medium-sized firm, whilst enjoying being part of the top 20. As an ACA training office, we take on 1 - 3 trainees a year. We are looking to recruit one graduate who aspire to become Chartered Accountants for our January 2027 intake. We are looking for personable candidates with excellent academic qualifications as well as drive, ambition and a hunger for success. The academic requirements are, a good standard and spread of GCSEs including English and Mathematics, three A levels (120 UCAS points), together with the expectation of at least a 2:1 class degree.

What you'll be doing

A fantastic opportunity for a motivated individual to start their career, working towards an internationally recognised qualification (ACA) and gaining valuable on-the-job experience with a highly respected accountancy firm.

You will join a dynamic team and work with a range of different businesses and rapidly gain responsibility whilst at the same time completing your qualification with us.

You will have a dedicated people manager and work within a team of like-minded individuals at various stages in their studies. Every six months, your progress is formally monitored and reviewed by the firm's training team. Your study records, both of work experience and examinations, will be discussed with you and targets set for the future. The variety and level of work provided by the firm is planned in conjunction with the progress made in academic studies and previous experience.

Signing up as a trainee accountant is a big commitment and we support our trainees as much as we can to help them with their studies. This includes paying for the costs of these studies and allowing paid for time away from the office for study. We also provide excellent on-the-job training and all of our trainees are given a wide range of work to enable them to learn and develop. It is our belief that each trainee has a chance of becoming a partner in this firm and we give them every opportunity to push themselves forward. And it does happen - five of our current partners trained with the firm.

Our offices are based in Blackfriars in central London but you will spend part of your working time outside the office working at clients' premises. Most of our clients are based within the Greater London area. A typical assignment might last a couple of weeks, some more, some less. You will start as a junior member of a team of two to four people.

Key responsibilities will include:

• Initially supporting audit teams with audit testing and other audit work, developing into leading audits by the end of the training contract
• Accounts preparation work
• Carry out ad hoc accounting and client service tasks

What We're Looking For

We're keen to hear from candidates who can demonstrate:

• At least 4 GCSEs at grade 9-4 (A*-C), including English and Maths
• Three A levels (120 UCAS points)
• At least a 2:1 class degree (or expectation thereof)
• Excellent knowledge of Microsoft Office, ideally with intermediate Excel skills
• Highly personable, organised with excellent communication skills
• Able to work as part of a team and ask for help
• Analytical skills and attention to detail and ability to think laterally to be capable of identifying potential problems and providing solutions
• Show initiative, exercise judgement and take ownership of issues from start to finish
• Willing and able to work under pressure and cope flexibly with demanding deadlines, and balance work and study
• Motivated and enthusiastic
• Able to reliably commute to the office

Successful candidates for this role will be personable and hard-working. As well taking your first steps in a great career you will find your role with us to be enjoyable and fun, working in a team that is warm, sociable and supportive.

We will provide you with meaningful support as you undertake your exam training and the exams themselves.

As you gain experience and seniority, you will be given the opportunity to start leading audit teams and take on additional responsibilities. By the time you reach the end of your final year of training with us, you will have a well-rounded set of practical and personal skills and a clear idea of how you want your career to develop beyond your training contract.

Most importantly, we're looking for someone who shares our values, enjoys working collaboratively and is passionate about delivering great results.

• Pension scheme
• Group life assurance (4x salary)
