Trainee Rotations Guide 2024

Introduction and key principles

■ We encourage all trainee apprentices to broaden their mindset and skillset through a rotation across the business.

■ Rotation experiences are a great way to develop professional capabilities while exploring new team environments. You will get the chance to make an impact and unlock your career potential by expanding your Hazlewoods network. We have a wide variety of options to explore and there is sure to be the right opportunity that is perfect for you.

■ Our learning environment will enable you to explore a multitude of opportunities. You can always talk to a partner, HR or your manager about how best to achieve your ambitions and goals.

■ Whatever rotation you work on, as well as the talented people you work with, will be yet another base for knowledge building. Rotations will help you reach key milestones, like becoming a manager. We will make it a priority to give you the tools you need to grow in the next phase of your career.

Key principles:

When?

▪ Rotations will typically take place between February and August each year. This can be flexible, depending on the needs of the business.

▪ The rotation will last between four and six months (inclusive of any study phases that fall in this period), depending on the team requirements.

▪ Exact timings will be agreed between team managers. Who?

▪ All trainee apprentices.

▪ ACA/ACCA apprentices will be able to undertake a rotation approximately 18 months after starting your training. For example, if you join Hazlewoods in September 2023, you will be able to apply for a rotation to start in February 2025

▪ AAT apprentices will be able to apply to start a rotation once they have completed their AAT apprenticeship and started their ACA or ACCA qualification. For example, if you join Hazlewoods in September 2023, you will be able to apply for a rotation to start in February 2026

How?

▪ You should discuss the opportunity, and any questions you may have, at your appraisal or one-to-one discussion.

Corporate Finance Transaction Services (Cheltenham – The Prom)

The Corporate Finance team specialise in carrying out financial due diligence for corporate acquirers, predominantly private equity house, and we work closely to support them with their buy and build strategies. We have won numerous awards in the South West and nationally in recent years, which has recognised the expertise we have in our team.

Over the last 20 years or so, we have developed a focus in certain sector specialisms including the following:

▪ Health and Social Care

▪ Veterinary

▪ Dental

▪ Schools

▪ Insurance Brokers

▪ Estate and Letting Agents

▪ Holiday Lettings

We are generally instructed by our clients to evaluate the financial performance of the company that they are looking to acquire. By the time we are instructed, our clients have made an offer to acquire the company, which is typically based on a multiple of profits. Part of what we do is to carry out a financial appraisal to determine whether we think the business is making the profits that they have presented to the acquirer.

Whilst each transaction is individual, the work involved in the process will typically include:

1. Detailed analysis of the underlying accounting records and gaining an understanding as to how these map to the financial statements.

2. Historical trading review and determination of current run rate profitability based on current information provided by the target company (for example, in a school we would analyse the current pupil list and current staff lists to form a view on currently profitability).

3. Detailed review of recent balance sheets of the target company, with a focus on the working capital cycle and intramonth cash requirements of the target business. This will later feed in to advise when reviewing the legal documentation that will bind the transaction.

4. Discuss initial findings and any potential red flags with the client.

5. Review historical tax compliance and assess any potential tax risks that may be inherited by the buyer on completion of the transaction.

6. Draft the financial due diligence report.

The majority of the work involves use of Excel and you will quickly develop strong analytical skills.

We look to provide as much exposure into the detailed work as possible to our trainees, who have access to senior management and partners.

Forensic Accounting and Litigation Support (Cheltenham – The Prom)

The Forensic team is based at The Prom and is regularly instructed by solicitors and surveyors to provide expert accounting advice to assist with the pursuance and resolution of disputes. The team is led by Ruth Dooley and Hannah Griffin who collectively have over 30 years of forensic accounting experience.

Whilst every job is different, there are certain skills which are important for undertaking forensic work:

■ Attention to detail

■ Logical and analytical skills

■ Interest in building your network with young professionals

■ Inquisitive mind

■ Report writing and communication skills

■ Prepared to share ideas and contribute in meetings –we do not always know how we progress a case at the start.

■ Able to test and challenge others - this is crucial. A forensic accountant must expect to be challenged by the opposing expert and their legal team so we will encourage you to test our thinking and ask questions!

You will work closely with the partners and will form an integral part of the team. Depending on the current cases, you may get to be involved in early stage quantum assessment, expert report writing, ADR such as mediation, meetings of experts, conference with counsel and possibly attending a trial!

Ruth and Hannah have acted as expert witnesses in a wide range of scenarios, including:

■ Divorce cases – often requiring a valuation of a business, an assessment of one/both parties’ future earnings from the business and consideration of the ability to use the business to raise funds for a divorce settlement.

■ Shareholder and partnership disputes – often requiring a valuation of a business and individual shareholdings.

■ Commercial disputes – often requiring an assessment of the losses arising from alleged actions, including an assessment of the counterfactual performance of a business –what would have happened had the alleged actions not taken place.

■ Compulsory Purchase Orders – quantifying the impact of the loss of land on the performance of a business. This can involve loss of profit claims as well as business valuations if the affected business must be extinguished

■ Professional negligence – quantifying the impact of the alleged negligence on the performance of a business.

■ Business interruption claims – quantifying the impact, of an insurable event, on the performance of a business.

Healthcare (Cheltenham - The Prom)

■ Attendance at audit team planning meetings where issues such as key audit risks and audit strategy will be discussed between team members.

■ Assisting in the drafting of audit planning documentation which could be the preparation of audit file, risk identification, materiality calculation and preparation of preliminary analytical reviews which we use to identify any additional risks which have not already been considered by the audit team.

■ Perform audit testing on various balance sheet and profit and loss account items. Audit sections for trainees could include the following: tangible and intangible assets, cash, debtors, revenue, creditors, equity, purchases, journals and commitments. Specific audit testing involved in each of these sections will be discussed between team members.

■ Assist in the review and analysis of business acquisition documentation and the overall audit of acquisitions. This could include agreeing completion accounts to supporting evidence, identification of terms which give rise to contingent and or deferred consideration and a review of management’s assessment on the likelihood of contingent consideration being paid out after year end.

The Healthcare team specialises in the audit and accounts preparation of companies and groups providing care services, such as residential and nursing homes for the elderly, specialist care, independent hospitals, domiciliary care, supported living and more. Our team recently won the Business Advisors and Accountants award at the 2022 Social Care Premium Suppliers Awards.

The Healthcare team also has a concentration on private equity owned businesses of an acquisitive nature which can include non-healthcare businesses.

Our client base ranges from small owner-managed companies to large and complex groups with over 50 subsidiaries and revenues in excess of £300 million.

We are located at The Prom Cheltenham office and split into an accounts team and an audit team. Our audits are currently a spread of working on-site, working off-site and a hybrid of the two depending on the client’s needs. Any overnight stays due to the geographical dispersion of our clients is usually limited to a couple of nights, depending on the needs of the specific audit.

We will provide you with opportunities and challenges, with the necessary support from seniors, managers and partners.

If you are looking to challenge yourself or are looking to get some exposure to large groups then a rotation into the Healthcare team is for you.

Legal (Cheltenham – Windsor House)

The Legal team are one of the largest law firm specialist teams in the UK, working with over 200 law firms and 1,000 individual law firm owners. We are a full service team with clients ranging from sole traders to large groups, as well as the relevant business and personal tax, Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA) Accounts Rules audits and advisory, including mergers and acquisitions, partner succession, benchmarking, performance, management reporting and changes to the practice structure.

There is high level of responsibility to junior members of staff at an early stage. This is true of the SRA Accounts Rules audits, which are managed by new starters within a couple of months. This gives immediate partner and client interaction to aid development and individual goals.

We are well represented in the sector, working with the Law Society and the ICAEW’s Solicitors Group. Our work with the Law Society is nationally known, as we produce their annual Financial Benchmarking Survey.

We have a large intake of trainees (nearly half the team are trainees). And there is a fun social environment in the team with a great work life balance. Most of our team of 55 work in two open plan floors in the Cheltenham Windsor House office.

We often visit clients at their offices, which are in almost all major cities in the UK as well as some in more remote towns. Some of our clients premises are multi million pound buildings and are superb places to work. Our new starters often enjoy the ‘stayaways’, as it gives a good excuse to socialise in the evenings!

We offer practical experience in the following:

■ Preparation of year end accounts. This includes reconciliation of balance sheet items. Our clients use a wide range of specialist solicitors software, but also some use more common software such as Sage and Xero. We then use benchmarking to assist our clients with financial performance. Given Law firms work quite similarly to accountancy firms; there are lots of similarities to Hazlewoods which helps understand how our firm works too.

■ SRA Accounts Rules audits - An example of client money would be where an individual purchases a property; this money sits in a solicitor’s client account before completion. We are required by the SRA to carry out an audit on the client account based on a set of rules: https://www.sra.org.uk/solicitors/standardsregulations/accounts-rules/. The audits are performed using CCH, and we have a tailored work programme for each client. The client receives a report and management letter at the end of each audit. Trainees take ownership of the whole audit, including planning, fieldwork, and completion (with manager involvement for completion). This gives trainees a lot of exposure to clients. This also assists with advisory work and clients love the added value we give to them.

■ Performance of statutory accounts audit. We often visit our clients to complete fieldwork testing, and generally these are in high-end offices with impressive facilities.

■ Preparation of business tax computations and returns using Alphatax.

■ Preparation of partnership and personal tax computations and returns using Digita Tax.

■ Preparation of management accounts.

In addition, a range of advisory work is carried out and tax support given to the Vet, Farms and Estate and Business Services teams.

The department works in an open plan office on the ground floor of the new building.

In addition to one-to-one support, help from other team members will always be available.

Work is office based.

Pharmacy (Cheltenham – The Prom)

The pharmacy team is a small, friendly team of 10 people, led by one Partner. Our Trainees make up nearly 50% of the team and therefore there is always someone around to offer support.

The majority of our clients are Limited Companies and range in size from one branch to large groups. We also have a portfolio of non-pharmacy clients including property companies.

We offer our clients a wide range of services which can range from VAT and management accounts to FDD reports and also audits.

Our team work in an open plan office and work is predominantly office based although there may be some opportunity to also visit client sites during audits.

On completion of your rotation, you will have gained an understanding of the pharmacy industry and an awareness of key/current business matters.

The Cheltenham Tax team offers a unique opportunity for our trainees to develop their awareness of a broad range of tax matters throughout the duration of their training contract. The team acts partly as expert advisors in specialist areas of tax and partly as a service provider to a number of teams at Hazlewoods, providing supporting compliance services, i.e. corporation and personal tax returns and other annual reporting. Our personal tax clients include landlords, director-shareholders and high net worth individuals with the occasional celebrity thrown in. Whilst our corporate portfolio offers a wide range of clients from small family owned and managed businesses to large private equity backed corporate clients with complex group structures, some of which have multinational reach. With over 1,200 personal tax clients and more than 2,000 corporate clients there is always something to engage and challenge those who have an interest in tax… and that’s before we’ve even got onto our sector specialisms.

For those who have not worked in tax, a rotation into the tax team offers the opportunity to complete the compliance cycle for clients, taking the accounts generated and producing the final output required. But the team does so much more than compliance by providing specialist advisory dealing with Capital Gains, Stamp Duty, Corporate Restructuring, VAT, Due Diligence, Innovation Tax Reliefs and Employment Taxes.
