Description
Are you currently enrolled in university, or have you completed your degree and are contemplating your next career move? Kreston Reeves provides graduates with the chance to participate in an apprenticeship program within our award-winning and innovative organisation. Our Application window closes Monday 26th October 2026.
Our training programme
This program presents a remarkable opportunity to acquire invaluable hands-on experience within a professional practice environment, immersing yourself in the day-to-day operations of a leading accountancy firm serving a diverse clientele.
Your professional training will be conducted in collaboration with a prominent training provider, involving block release periods for attending courses with exams spread over the three-year duration. It's essential to be ready to dedicate personal study time to ensure optimal comprehension of the material and success in the exams.
In addition to your formal studies, you'll learn through practical experience, applying your newly acquired skills by working alongside colleagues and engaging with clients right from the inception of your career with us.
Throughout your training, we provide continuous support through regular reviews and feedback, coupled with professional and financial assistance, ensuring a fulfilling and challenging career path that enables you to realise your full potential.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
