Audit – The Detectives 

If you are curious, detail focused and enjoy variety, audit could be the perfect choice. No two days are the same. One day you may be meeting clients on site and the next you could be in the office reviewing accounts or preparing reports. Audit is about more than numbers. It is about understanding how a business operates, identifying risks and giving clients confidence in their financial information. 

As an Audit Junior, you will: 

  • Assist your team with audits and accounts preparation for a wide range of clients 

  • Support your mentor with audit planning and analytical reviews 

  • Draft professional correspondence for clients and stakeholders 

  • Prepare financial statements  

  • Develop your knowledge of compliance and regulatory requirements 

Audit is ideal if you enjoy problem solving, working with others and exploring how businesses really function.

Accounting – The Builders 

If you are organised, methodical and enjoy seeing the bigger picture, accounting may be the role that suits you best. Accountants are the builders of a business story. They take information from many different sources and bring it together to create a clear and reliable picture of how a business is performing. At Baker Tilly, our accountants work with clients across a wide variety of industries, giving you exposure to everything from ambitious start ups to large established firms. 

As an Accounts Junior, you will: 

  • Prepare client accounts and financial reports from start to finish 

  • Work closely with your mentor on a wide range of client assignments 

  • Compile computations for submission to the relevant authorities 

  • Review and organise source documents to prepare accurate final accounts 

  • Contribute to advisory projects 

Accounting is perfect if you enjoy structure and accuracy but also want variety and the chance to make a real impact. It combines detail with big picture thinking, allowing you to build strong relationships with clients and play a central role in their success.

 

Whichever path you choose, you will gain the skills, confidence and experience to build a career you can be proud of. This is your opportunity to begin a journey filled with purpose, learning and real impact. The only question is, where will it take you?
