Think all accountancy firms are the same? Think again… Ballards LLP is an entrepreneurial business that is passionate about helping our clients realise their goals and potential through providing a range of cutting-edge services and solutions. 

We offer fully-funded study packages, which means that you train to become a Chartered Accountant whilst you work.

Graduates at Ballards are practical, entrepreneurial, brave thinkers who thrive working on both team and individual tasks. For our 2024 intake, we are now looking for Graduates who are interested in Audit & Accounts.

Our three-year graduate programme will take you on a journey from Graduate to professionally qualified Chartered Accountant with the full support of colleagues, managers, mentors, and buddies.

In that time, you’ll pack in lots of learning and new experiences. You’ll study through ICAEW as part of a Level 7 apprenticeship programme to gain your ACA qualification, and revise for your exams whilst working alongside experienced colleagues in the world of accountancy and consultancy.

We know this journey won’t be easy, but you’ll be given the support to achieve as much as you want to achieve, making this path both rewarding and challenging.

Working with clients in many different sectors, you will get a full understanding of the complete business lifecycle – this will also give insight into any area of accountancy you wish to specialise in.
