Yorkshire Autumn Graduate Recruitment Fair

Smith & Williamson

Exhibiting: Tuesday 3rd November 2009

Smith & Williamson has 1,500 staff in 11 principal offices across the UK and Ireland. We hold the unique position of combining a firm of chartered accountants, currently ranked the 8th largest accountancy practice in the UK (according to Accountancy Age 2008), with an investment management and private banking house.

What makes us different
We are distinctive among the top ten firms for our range of services. Accountancy, corporate advisory, financial services and tax, coupled with a strong investment management arm, means we are large enough to be competitive, but small enough that your hard work and efforts will not go unnoticed.

You will be learning from talented, experienced individuals and will be able to develop your skills across a diverse client base.

Graduate Opportunities

Training and development
We offer a number of entry routes to start your professional training. Trainees within our Assurance & Business Services pursue chartered accountancy qualifications, while trainees in Private Client Tax Services work towards the ATT and CTA qualifications. Corporate Tax graduates can follow either route. Accounts and Business Services trainees study for the certified accountancy qualification, while investment management trainees work towards the Investment Management Certificate and the Securities & Investment Institute Masters (Wealth Management).

Whichever qualification you pursue, we have a strong commitment to supporting you throughout your studies. You will receive ongoing in-house training and regular appraisals, plus we also operate a 'buddy'/mentoring system.
After qualifying, you will receive ongoing soft skills training. You will also have the opportunity to take up post-qualification professional training. This can involve progression into another business area or an overseas secondment through Nexia International.
