HaysMac (formerly haysmacintyre), a London accountancy and tax firm with an office in Cape Town, runs a school leaver apprenticeship programme for A-level leavers in Audit and Tax. The careers page describes 4.5-year Audit and Tax apprenticeships towards the ICAEW ACA; the 2027 Private Client & Trusts Tax school-leaver role instead studies ATT and CTA over a four-year training contract. Applications open each September for a September start in London.
