Accounting and Finance Apprenticeship and Graduate Open Evening

Ever wondered what it is like to build a career at one of the UK’s top 15 accountancy firms and part of the eighth largest global network, Baker Tilly International? This is your chance to find out.

You have probably heard the myths...
You just sit at a desk all day.
It is boring.
It is all numbers and no people.

That could not be further from the truth. At MHA our people work with ambitious start-ups, growing and global businesses, well-known household brands and individuals too. They help clients solve complex challenges, plan for the future and make big decisions that shape success. It is work that is varied, people-focused and full of opportunity. Many of our trainees have gone on to become senior leaders and Partners right here in Milton Keynes, showing just how far a career with us can take you.

This open evening is your opportunity to step inside our newly relocated Milton Keynes office, meet the team and imagine your own future here. You will hear from Senior Leaders and Partners who have built their careers with us and from current trainees who will share what the work is really like. You will discover the professional qualifications we support, including AAT, ACA and ACCA, and learn how we help our people grow into trusted business advisers.

You will also get practical advice on how to stand out when applying for apprenticeships and graduate roles. You can find out which career pathway is the right fit for you and explore the different service lines at MHA so you can choose the route that will help you build and elevate your career in the way that suits you best. There will be time to network with our trainees and ask anything about their journey. 

If that’s not enough, there will also be food and refreshments provided on the evening!
