Accountancy Training for School Leaver

Just as a quick introduction my name is Simi and I work for a London based recruitment agency, Gambit Search. We help source talent across the UK for the majority of the top 50 ranked accountancy firms.

I am writing to you today as one of our accountancy clients are looking for a school leaver to come on board and join their corporate restructuring and insolvency team in Edinburgh.

Our client is a financial and business advisory firm that specialise in forensic investigations, insolvency, restructuring and corporate finance. They have over 20 offices and are highly reputable.

This opportunity is very rare and unique, and I do think this role will appeal to many sixth formers that don’t want to go down the university route. It is also a great opportunity for them to kick start career in the world of finance.

As an overview, they will join the team as a trainee and learn all about insolvency all while assisting a team that works on high profile insolvency cases (in the millions). Once they gain a strong foundation, our client will provide accountancy training and study support to allow them to progress and build a career.

My client is keen to start the interview process soon and would like an ambitious and motivated individual, which I believe they can find from your highly reputable school, to commence work at the end of May / early June.

I would appreciate if you could share this with the sixth formers within your school. I have attached the job spec in this email, and I am more than happy to arrange a call with yourself to answer any questions you might have for me regarding this role.
