Training & Profiles

Designed to help you achieve your chartered status (or specific qualifications should you choose one of our alternative career paths) as quickly as possible, our course offers industry leading support and guidance. This includes financial help for all your study and revision courses (on your first attempt) and time off for exams. Perhaps that’s why our pass rate is well above the national average.

Not only that, but you could find yourself working on live projects with your own clients in as little as 18 months. Why so soon? Because we believe giving early responsibility gives you the chance to show us what you’re really made of. And your development won’t stop there – we tailor your programme to your interests and ambition. If you’re aiming to be a Partner, there’s every chance you will be, and in a lot less time than you might think. Our transition and executive development programme timelines prove it. There are also overseas secondment opportunities through our links with Baker Tilly International, so your ambition could, quite literally, take you anywhere.

Rewards and benefits

And of course, it’s not all work and no play. We put a lot of time into making sure our work- life balance is as close to perfect as possible. Our social agenda is as packed as our work diary and you’ll be able to mix with an extensive network of colleagues. Add to that an excellent benefits package, including a competitive starting salary, profit sharing scheme, life assurance cover, group income protection scheme, pension scheme, season ticket loan and full study support and we hope you’ll be as happy with us as we are with you.

To apply

So what do we look for? It’s actually a kind of individuality that’s unique to every candidate, because we believe that’s what makes our teams so dynamic. But there are a few things we ask you to arrive with, including at least 280 UCAS points and an expected 2:1 or above, as well as the sparkle and ambition which makes you stand out from the crowd.

Name: Andrew Westbrook
Degree: Chemistry
Role: Audit Senior

“I actually did Chemistry at University, but I had my eye on a career in accountancy and although I applied for several programmes, what swung it for me was the people here. They are such an inclusive, supportive bunch. I only joined in 2003 and I’ve already been a qualified Audit Senior for more than a year and I have high ambitions to make Partner in the not-too-distant future. Baker Tilly has been behind me all the way and are putting me through a special ‘Transition Programme’ designed to help me along their career fast track. All in all I love the like-minded people and the possibility for progression. Right now, I couldn’t see myself anywhere else.”

Name: Sarah Dean
University: Bath University
Role: Corporate Finance

“I did a six month placement in the Mergers and Acquisitions team, as part of my degree at Bath University and I loved every minute of it, so I was over the moon when they offered me a place on the graduate programme. I’ve been here 9 months now and am busy studying for my ACA, whilst working hard on live projects such as managing the buyout of a recruitment consultancy and the sale of a media communications business – the work is very diverse. The job is exciting, client facing and no two clients or businesses are the same. If you’re ambitious and looking for variety, you couldn’t ask for more.”
