Careers Event – Baker Tilly Accountancy - Bury St Edmunds

I’m delighted to announce that Baker Tilly, a leading provider of Accountancy and Business Advisory Services, will be holding a Careers Event in our Bury St Edmunds office on the evening of Thursday 8^th November.  The event is open to anyone considering a career in accountancy and offers the chance to find out about Baker Tilly and the reality of being a modern day accountant (it’s about people and relationships, not just balance sheets).  There will also be the opportunity to meet current students and staff.    

Baker Tilly is one of the UK’s Top 10 firms of accountants and business advisors, with more than 1,600 staff and 220 partners generating a fee income of £171m.  We have offices across the UK and are part of an international network too, so in the longer term we can offer opportunities across the country and beyond.

Each August, we look to take on high calibre students, at either school leaver (18+) or graduate level.  They’ll have the opportunity to study for industry leading qualifications, in a structured and well supported programme, enabling them to become fully qualified accountants across a range of disciplines.  Whilst we’re maintaining a graduate intake, we are very keen to recruit more school leavers, and feel we can offer a real alternative to university as students can study with us whilst earning a decent salary. At the end of two years of study with us, students joining immediately after A level will typically be at the same level as a newly recruited graduate, only with valuable business experience and without the graduate’s significant student debt.

To join us immediately after secondary education, applicants will need a good academic track record of 5 or more GCSEs grade C or above, including B at Maths & English Language, plus a predicted 260 UCAS points, excluding General Studies.   To join at graduate level, the requirement is 280 UCAS points and a 2:1 degree.  Full information about Baker Tilly and our study programmes can be found at www.bakertilly.co.uk.  Alternatively, please contact me on 01245 454072 to discuss further.

I do hope that both you and your students will be able to attend our Careers Event on 8^th November, where you’ll hear more about Baker Tilly, the world of accountancy and get a chance to meet our current students.  We aim to run sessions from approximately 5pm to 8pm.  Booking is essential: to book a slot, please call 01284 763311.
