Audit School Leaver Scheme (ACA) September 2026

Blick Rothenberg are a leading tax, audit, accountancy and business advisory firm founded on personal integrity and technical expertise. Our teams work seamlessly to provide advice throughout the life cycle of our clients. We employ 800 people and are based in Covent Garden, London.

Blick Rothenberg is committed to improving the diversity of its workforce across all levels by building a culture that’s genuinely inclusive, a culture where everyone can fulfil their potential and can be themselves. BR supports flexible working (BRighter working) which aims to allow you to balance your life with the needs of colleagues and the high expectations of our clients.

The role

Our ACA Audit School Leaver Scheme is based within our Corporate Audit and Entrepreneurial Services teams. These teams provide services to a wide range of clients, from business owners and stakeholders of international groups to family and smaller privately-owned businesses including those with private equity backing. Working within our audit team, you will get exposure to all facets of preparing and auditing year-end financial statements as well as preparing the related corporation tax returns. You will gain a genuine mix of experience across different business sectors and from large international corporates to small and medium sized UK businesses.

This scheme forms part of a level 7 programme. We have created a first-class training and development programme to set you up for success providing the support you need to complete the ACA qualification. Alongside your day to day work you will attend college and/or study days for exams and will be assigned a designated buddy who will help you settle into life at the firm. This role will start in September 2026.

What can we offer you?

When you join Blick Rothenberg, you gain much more than a qualification. You join the Blick Rothenberg culture and way of life. You will enjoy early responsibility and will find our business to be friendly and our working environment to be both lively and stimulating. To balance the demands of a busy role and study, our teams host regular social events, and our annual firm-wide Summer and Christmas Parties are enjoyed by all. We are committed to the development of our people. In addition to you training with our external training provider, we run regular in-house technical training courses as well as practical personal development training such as communication, teamwork, and transition to the workplace.

Skills & experience

For us, the personal attributes of each of our colleagues are what makes us authentic in the marketplace. We look for people who:

• Can collaborate with peers but can also bring their own voice to the table.
• Are dynamic in their approach and respectful of other people’s opinions.
• Want to work in a medium-sized firm such as ours.
• Are inquisitive and enjoy learning new concepts.

We are not looking for someone who knows everything already, but someone who is committed to their development and learning. Good communication skills, both written and verbal, are also necessary, as is the ability to work as a member of a team.

To get the job that you’ll love you will:

• Be on track, or have, a minimum of 112 UCAS points (A-levels or equivalent) by September 2026.
• Have GCSE grades 9-4 (Old A-C grades). These should include Maths and English.
