PKF Francis Clark welcomes Bristol and Salisbury trainees

Accountancy firm PKF Francis Clark has taken on 63 new trainee accountants and tax advisers, who will be based across eight of the firm’s locations including Bristol and Salisbury.

The intake includes 57 apprentices, taking the firm’s current apprenticeship cohort to 73, and six undergraduates, who are starting the firm’s new 12-month industrial placement scheme.

Paul Crocker, CEO of PKF Francis Clark, said: “Welcoming our new trainees is always one of our highlights of the year. They join us at an exciting time for the accountancy profession and our firm, as we focus on developing advisors with the skills our clients will need to succeed in an era of rapid technological change.

“Building on our existing work with universities, we’re delighted to launch our new 12-month industrial placements. These students will develop technical, commercial and personal skills before completing their academic studies, giving them a great foundation for a future career in accountancy.

“Several current partners and directors joined the firm as trainees, so I’m looking forward to seeing our new joiners progress in their careers with us in the years ahead.”

For two years running, PKF Francis Clark has been certified as both a Great Place to Work and one of England’s Top 100 Apprenticeship Employers. The firm is also ranked among the UK’s Best Workplaces for Women, Best Workplaces for Development, Best Workplaces for Wellbeing and Best Workplaces in Consulting & Professional Services.
