Audit

Spring 2026 start

We want to hear from bright, ambitious school leavers who are keen to join our growing Audit team. This is a great opportunity for motivated, articulate and career‑minded individuals to progress in a career within accountancy.

A career at Ecovis is full of new experiences, stimulating challenges, and an environment where you can develop yourself and achieve your long‑term goals. We offer you the opportunities to work on projects that will inspire you, build your own networks, be mentored and coached by experts in your field, and to thrive in a fully supportive and flexible environment.

Before applying, check out our Work With Us hub to get a feel for what it’s like to progress your career with us.

As auditors, we help build the confidence and trust that businesses and society need to thrive. If you’d like to get under the skin of a variety of organisations, this is the place to be. It’s important that we put what is right first. To do this you will need to have the confidence to push ideas harder and ask difficult questions, giving our clients assurance they can rely on. As business advisors, we enjoy the intellectual stimulation that comes from solving complex problems and creating positive change for many organisations.

As an Audit Associate you will be involved in audits both on‑site and remote, as well as preparing financial statements for a range of entities. This is a client‑facing role where no two days are the same, allowing you to gain a wealth of experience. Our client base covers sectors such as media, financial markets, manufacturing, retail and lots more. In addition to sectors, we also have a variety of different sized clients, ranging from small owner‑managed businesses to large international groups and listed companies. As a graduate you will not be confined to one sector or client size, which will allow you to develop well‑rounded knowledge and business acumen.

The School Leaver Programme

Our Audit Associate programme is designed to give you the qualifications, skills and experiences you need to embark on a rewarding career.

As a school leaver, you will embark on a four‑five year programme, completing AAT level 3 and 4, before completing your ACA qualification. We are also open to our trainees completing the ACA CTA Joint Programme.

Throughout the recruitment process we will be looking to learn more about your strengths. Are you:

• Motivated and focused on progression and continual learning?
• Engaging and articulate?
• Good at communicating with your peers, managers and clients?
• Driven to establish and maintain good working relationships with clients and colleagues alike?
