Accountancy firm to create 54 jobs

BDO is set to recruit a record number of new trainees across its Midlands offices.

Applications are now open for more than 54 new roles across the accountancy and business advisory firm’s Birmingham and Nottingham offices.

18 of the new roles are apprenticeships, while 36 graduate roles are on offer.

Richard Rose, partner and head of BDO in the Midlands, said: “We are really pleased to announce our largest ever intake of trainees for 2020, demonstrating our ongoing commitment of investing in people. We’re proud to attract dynamic and forward-thinking trainees who share our ambitions and will become ‘advisers of the future.’

“The most rewarding part of my role is seeing our people succeed in their own careers and thriving in our dynamic and supportive culture.

“The accountancy profession has long been an advocate of apprenticeships. BDO wants to see the government continue to support this route into work and reform the Ofsted assessment system to increase the number and quality of apprenticeship places on offer – this in turn will help address the UK skills and productivity gap.”

BDO recently saw its annual revenues and profit increase by a quarter to £578 million and £134 million respectively.
