On the move: the latest East Midlands hires

PKF Cooper Parry has hired 13 new audit trainees and seven new interns.

The 13 trainees are a mixture of school leavers, graduates and university placement students doing a sandwich year during their studies. The group will spend their time working in audit, where, after a two-week induction, they will begin working on real projects.

The seven interns will rotate around the business, working in audit, tax and a variety of different areas for a set period.

Orianne Wightman, early careers talent co-ordinator at PKF Cooper Parry, said: “September is my favourite time of the year. I love seeing the new generation of talent coming in, all hungry and driven ready to get their hands stuck in. It brings a certain youthfulness and energy to the business. People often ask what it is I love about my job – it’s this, the buzz offering people a life changing career. I’m really proud of 2018’s intake and can’t wait to watch their careers flourish with us.”
