6. What exams do you offer?

We are a Chartered Firm as well as being an ACCA Platinum Approved Employer, so the majority of our trainees are studying with ACA or ACCA and we provide paid study leave according to their policies.

We always advise our incoming trainees to evaluate both options before making your final decision. Or when you meet us, ask us if you have any lingering questions about what path to choose.

Within our Tax Department we also offer trainees the opportunity to study the Chartered Tax Advisor (CTA) qualification and within Consulting, we offer people the option to study with the Chartered Institute of Internal Auditors.
