The JC Futures Apprenticeship 

The road to becoming a fully qualified accountancy professional is rigorous, but we are an experienced training firm and we know what’s needed to succeed. Most of your colleagues are similarly qualified. We navigate the training journey with you. You will have support and encouragement every step of the way.     

Our core value of 'Leading our Future' is embedded into our ethos. We prioritise investing in our entry level talent to nurture our future firm leaders.

The first year of our accounting apprenticeship programme will focus on the transition from full time education to settling into the professional workplace. We work with you to develop your accounting acumen through an introductory qualification that complements your skills and education to date. You will be trained in how to complete the fundamental tasks and processes in your area. Soon, you will master these and be eager to add further skills to your portfolio. 

With some formative client experience and studies under your belt, you can feel confident in the next steps that you will take to become a fully qualified accountant or tax professional. Formal qualifications include: ICAS, ACCA, ATT/CTA or a graduate apprenticeship at Robert Gordon University or Glasgow Caledonian University. You’ll understand what will help you accelerate your career in your business line and how to continue to deliver excellent client service. Our diverse and extensive client base means there are many opportunities to hone your increasing expertise, with challenge and fulfilment aplenty.   

It's not just about your technical know how, though. You’ll be working with teams and colleagues throughout, with different and expanding roles in projects. As time goes on, you may find that you are leading a greater portion of a project or indeed, the whole thing, whilst directing other colleagues to get the job done for our clients.     

Whatever training route you take at JC, the outcome is the same – a world class professional qualification, extensive client service experience and the opportunity to advance all the way to the senior leadership of our firm. The size and reach of our network means that there are myriad ways to ensure a fulfilling long term career with us.
