Goodman Jones, a central London chartered accountancy firm, trains school leavers on a two-year Level 4 CFAB apprenticeship (the ICAEW Certificate in Finance, Accounting and Business, a stepping stone to the ACA) and recruits for a Level 7 ACA apprenticeship, with tuition from First Intuition. It usually recruits twice a year for January and August intakes; the next CFAB and ACA intakes are August 2027, with applications opening in spring 2027. An AAT route is also described, with its next intake to be confirmed.
