Role and Responsibilities:
You are our future; so we want to give you the best opportunity to help us grow together. These are the some of the things we’ll offer you. From day one, working from our flagship Cape Town office, you will be working on challenging and exciting engagements in one of our five sector teams: Creative Media and Technology, Property, Hospitality, Financial Services and Not for Profit. You will be a part of a close-knit graduate cohort, based in our UK and South African offices, full of self-starters, problem-solvers and collaborators, who strive to continually enhance their skills and knowledge. Over the course of your 3.5-year training contract, you will have access to personal development and high-quality training whilst working towards your internationally recognised ACA professional qualification, alongside mentoring and support from peers and leaders alike. You will be assigned a line manager and a buddy from day one to support your career and development, and help you transition into the world of work. We host events to keep the right balance between work and play. From our Christmas party to events as part of our Connect initiative such as our regular office social- and team building events, we pride ourselves on making time for one another. We give you the opportunity to support local communities through our Corporate Social Responsibility (“CSR”) programme. This is the heart of what we do, allowing us to work with our clients, employees, and other stakeholders to carry out this mission and reduce our impact on the environment. We are looking for candidates who want to kickstart their career in Audit by being exposed to a wide range of UK and international clients. Our firm values are very important to us, and hopefully aligned with your own. You will be motivated by having hands on experience working with clients, as well as collaborating with Seniors, Managers, Directors and Partners across both the UK and South Africa offices. In return, we offer a supportive environment whereby working together with you, we can propel your personal and professional development for a successful career in Audit at haysmacintyre.
