Audit Trainee

Full job description

Dains, a UK accountancy group, is hiring an audit apprentice at its Birmingham office aimed at A-level students, starting on the CFAB qualification as the first step toward ACA chartered accountant status. The apprentice joins the audit team, examining company accounts, testing systems and providing assurance across a range of sectors, within a three-year structured training programme covering CFAB and ACA. The entry list asks for GCSE grade 6 in maths and English, at least 112 UCAS points excluding General Studies and a 2:1 degree line that seems at odds with the school-leaver framing on the same page. The advert lists 25 days of leave plus bank holidays, a structured induction, hybrid working options, paid professional subscriptions, regular development reviews, paid volunteering days and access to the Dains Academy learning platform. It requires eligibility to work in the UK without sponsorship, so it does not offer visa support. No closing date, start date or salary is stated; the vacancy was posted on 21 September 2026.
