Audit Apprenticeship Programme - September 2025

Get to know yourself through an EY apprenticeship. It’s okay to not know everything when it comes to your career, as it’s only just beginning. We’re here to support you! Our apprenticeships enable you to supercharge your career and shape your future with confidence. From bots that do number crunching, sustainability projects that positively impact people and the planet, or transforming through technology, we have opportunities to match your passion and strengths.

Supercharge your career through our Business Apprenticeship in Audit. You’ll get to progress even faster than university-goers, as the projects you’ll work on will provide you with lots of practical experience to supercharge your career.

Through Audit and our market leading Audit services, you’ll help local and global businesses to succeed with your tech-savvy assurance advice whilst studying towards an industry-recognised qualification. You’ll learn how we deliver trust and confidence to society and financial markets via our data driven audits, at a global scale and across a hugely diverse portfolio of clients.

The purpose of Audit is to ensure that a business is a go-to place for the financial needs of its owners. Audit provides certainty through evidence and brings confidence that systems are working. It helps clients make sure that their financial statements are accurate from start to finish by verifying records and accounting entries.

This four-year programme allows you to gain hands-on paid work as you study towards becoming a chartered accountant. You’ll also gain a Level 7 Apprenticeship in Accountancy and Taxation qualification in England which is equivalent to a master’s degree.

As an Audit apprentice, you will:

• Take responsibility and help us ensure that businesses and governments publish true and fair financial information others can rely on.
• Analyse data to ensure our clients are protected from risk and feel comfortable and secure.
• Earn as you learn with a competitive salary, and a range of reward benefits including £500 spend towards your wellbeing each year.
• Liaise with senior colleagues to develop your skills and your professional network.

You’ll be in a supportive team and will receive regular coaching and mentoring. You’ll be learning on-the-job and will be given access to regular training opportunities. Plus, your experience doesn’t stop once you’ve completed the programme - we’ll continue to give you opportunities to progress within EY.

In a world that’s changing faster than ever, our purpose acts as our North Star, guiding our 400,000 people — providing the context and meaning for the work we do every day. At EY, our purpose is to shape the future with confidence. The insights and services we provide help build trust and confidence in the financial markets and in economies the world over - playing a critical role in building a better working world for our people, for our clients and for our communities.

We’re proud to have achieved an Ofsted rating of Outstanding in 2024 across all aspects of our delivery of the Level 7 Accountancy and Taxation Apprenticeship in England. All our apprentices that work within Assurance, Tax, Strategy and Transactions, and Consulting experience the same level of training to support them in becoming a Chartered Accountant within an environment that fosters development and wellbeing.
