We have a flexible approach to academic entry requirements. We’ll consider your academic achievements, but your strengths, motivations and connection with us and our values are just as important. We’re looking for someone with a broad range of interests and experiences.

This opportunity is ideal for someone looking to begin their studies and undertake their AAT qualification while working in an award-winning Accountancy practice. In 2025, Larking Gowen won ‘Best benefits to support work-life balance’ at the National Employee Benefits awards.
You will be enrolled on an Apprenticeship which will develop a wide range of business and personal skills, work-based learning and professional qualifications. We offer Level 3 and Level 4 AAT (Association of Accounting Technicians) apprenticeships.

You'll be able to earn while you learn with hands-on experience of the business. We'll give you paid time off for study and flexible working. Once you've completed your studies, you will be given the opportunity to undertake further study to become a fully qualified Chartered Accountant (ACA).
In return you will have support to establish your careers with Larking Gowen at a pace that suits you both personally and professionally. We also offer benefits that include:
- Medicash Program
- Option to buy additional holiday.
- Regular sports and social events.
