Saffery to recruit 144 trainees across 10 offices

Saffery will recruit 144 trainees across its UK and Dublin offices during the 2026/27 financial year.

The accountancy firm welcomed 107 trainees in September 2026, with another 37 due to join in January 2027.

The recruits include graduates, school leavers and apprentices working across audit and assurance, tax, accounts and client payroll.

Each trainee will follow a qualification pathway combining professional study with practical experience.

The firm also welcomed 21 interns during the summer and will host eight students on placements lasting six or 12 months during the academic year.

Interns and placement students will take part in the Saffery Kickstart Programme, which covers technical knowledge, artificial intelligence (AI) and professional skills.

Rob Jarvis, HR director at Saffery, said: “We’ve had another strong year for trainee recruitment, reflecting our confidence and commitment to investing in the next generation of professionals. 

“Many of our trainees go on to build long and successful careers with the firm, making early careers recruitment an important part of talent strategy.”
