Are you looking for a Trainee Accounts role and want to be part of a growing, successful “fusion” accounting practice?
When you join Finling, you become part of a team delivering ingenious accounting for ambitious entrepreneurs. Working for mainly tech sector corporate clients, we fuse the best elements of working in industry with the best elements of working in practice, so that you have the most fulfilling career possible.
You join a team that really cares about your early post-graduation career and will enable you to learn and grow as an accounting professional. We support your journey to qualification with CIMA, ACCA or AAT, on a fully structured (and paid for) apprenticeship programme.
You will be part of a team that cares passionately for its clients. We focus on a smaller number of deep relationships with clients, providing both their finance team, and their compliance and advisory services. This is different from the traditional “transactional” relationships you normally find between practice and client.
You will have the choice to work flexibly, from home on Mondays and Fridays, if you wish, and in the office for everyone Tuesday to Thursday.
You can vary your hours around our core hours of 10am to 4pm.
We have a comprehensive benefits package designed to support you to achieve a work-life balance, and to look after you through good times and bad.

“I have worked at Finling for 8 months at this point and the breadth and depth of knowledge that I have accumulated is beyond what I could have imagined. I have been provided with so many opportunities for development and feel consistently supported and encouraged. We are a close team and there is always somebody willing to lend a hand.” Adam, Graduate Accounts Trainee
