Are you a motivated, personable graduate with a genuine interest in accountancy or tax? Do you have a hunger to learn, grow, and build a rewarding career?
At PKF Brenson Lawlor, we’re looking for bright, ambitious individuals who thrive both in a team and on their own initiative. Join us and start your journey with a leading training firm that supports your development every step of the way.
To apply, you should hold a 2:1 degree in a business related discipline (obtained or predicted) and a minimum of 400 points in the Leaving Certificate (or equivalent).
Your training will primarily consist of on-the-job learning, where you’ll gain valuable hands-on experience with guidance from your mentor, manager and wider team.
Throughout your training contract, you’ll be exposed to all aspects of the work and have the opportunity to collaborate with a wide variety of clients across different sectors.
We also make a conscious effort to link the practical work you are doing with the exams you are sitting, helping you to apply your knowledge in real-world situations.
In addition to this practical experience, we provide dedicated training days each year, as well as department-specific training to ensure you build strong technical knowledge and skills. The exact focus of your training will vary depending on the department you are working in, giving you tailored development alongside broader firm-wide experience.
