Azets UK recruits school and college leavers (anyone without a degree, of any age) as trainees in Audit, Tax and Accounts & Business Advisory, plus smaller numbers in Payroll, Internal Audit and Wealth. Every trainee programme carries a professional qualification that depends on the role: typically AAT then ACA, the ICAS school-leaver route (about five years) in Scotland, or the ATT/CTA joint pathway in Tax. Azets is an AAT Accredited Employer and an ICAS/ICAEW approved training provider. Vacancies sit in a TalentLink listing that could not be read without a browser.
