Employer:       
 
Johnston Carmichael is Scotland's largest independent firm of Chartered Accountants and Business Advisers with expertise across audit, tax, and business advisory.
 
Environment:
 
We have vacancies within our Audit, Business Advisory and Tax Teams in our Edinburgh office. The successful candidates will learn alongside our experienced teams and at the same time study towards a professional qualification.  
 
What might a day in this role look like?
 
JC Futures is a six-year training programme, starting in July 2022. The first year involves transition from school and settling into the workplace. We work with you to develop your basic accounting skills and this culminates in you achieving a Certificate in Bookkeeping. With hands-on experience from day one, alongside supported training as you study towards a professional accountancy qualification, you'll be on track for a successful and bright career.
 
What will I learn?
 

• Successful students will develop core accountancy and business skills from across a wide variety of industry sectors, whilst experiencing the opportunity to build strong working relationships to help develop a longer-term career path. 
• You will study towards a professional accountancy qualification.

 
What qualifications/skills are required?
 

• You should have or be aiming for 135 UCAS points (or equivalent). While Higher Accounting is beneficial, it is not a requirement.
• We're looking for individuals with spark and ambition who can demonstrate attention to detail, take pride in their work and have a real passion to succeed in their professional studies. 
• Despite our size, we're a close-knit team so you'll need strong inter-personal skills and be able to communicate well with colleagues and clients. 
• Work experience is real advantage but that needn't have been in an accounting or financial environment. As long as you have developed strong transferrable skills which you can apply to a role within our team, we want to hear from you.
• Good time management, problem solving skills and the ability to make sound judgements are also essential alongside a can-do approach to any situation!
