We are delighted to welcome our six new graduates who take up their positions as trainees across our offices.

L-R: Amy Sherriff, Stella Winterton, Fraser Dingwall, Lewis Stracey, Helena Drylie & Alisha Owen

Each year, we offer training contracts to university graduates looking to gain the prestigious ICAS qualification. This year’s intake, who recently gathered at our Dundee office for training, will be spread across our offices in Dundee, Forfar and Glenrothes.

The new trainees include four Accountancy graduates from the University of Dundee, Fraser Dingwall, Alisha Owen, Amy Sherriff, and Helena Drylie, alongside Accountancy and Finance graduate, Lewis Stracey from the University of Aberdeen. They are also joined by University of Dundee Mathematics graduate, Stella Winterton.

We offer an intensive, three-year training programme which is unrivalled locally when it comes to the experience, training and funding which graduates benefit from. As well as being exposed to a broad range of assignments, with client responsibility from an early stage, graduates receive a diverse training experience, developing skills in accountancy, taxation, and audit. The programme also offers the opportunity to enhance personal skills and gain valuable insight into business advisory services.

Graeme Davidson, Staff Partner commented,

“With growing demand for the services we provide, it’s crucial that we have the right people in place. We are therefore delighted to welcome this group of talented people to our growing workforce.

“When it comes to graduate recruitment, we look beyond the degree. Instead, we focus on attracting and investing in the right calibre of graduate, ensuring that they can thrive within the firm as both individuals and professionals, enjoying a truly rounded experience. We look forward to working with our new colleagues, shaping them into professional Chartered Accountants who we are proud of, and helping them achieve, and indeed exceed, their personal career goals.”

Our graduate recruitment drive for 2024 will begin soon. For up to date information, and to find out more about the graduate vacancies, visit our Graduate Recruitment page.
