Accounting Summer Internship - Glasgow 2027

Our team of sharp minds have unique skills, talents and aspirations, but we have common goals too, and we are looking for like-minded people to help us reach those goals. We have a number of summer internships across our Scottish offices. During your internship, you have the opportunity to gain exposure across Tax, Business Advisory and Audit, giving you the chance to understand how each team supports businesses and their people to succeed. You’ll work alongside experienced professionals, get involved in real client work and develop valuable skills that will set you apart as you take the next step in your career.

Our six-week in-person summer internship will run from 12 July – 20 August 2027 and is designed to offer you first-hand experience of working with us. It is an opportunity for you to get an understanding of our business as well as for us to get to know you and your skills as an individual. At the end of the internship, there will be a review of your performance and experience, which could lead to an offer of a permanent position on our 2028 graduate programme.
