New Starters Add Up To A Dozen At Yorkshire Accounting Firm

Chartered accounting and business advisory firm, Saffery, has strengthened its Yorkshire team with 12 new graduate and school leaver trainees. This follows a record intake of 14 trainees last year.

Based across four departments – audit, accounts, corporate tax and personal tax – the new appointments take the total team number at the firm’s Yorkshire office to 84. The trainees will all undertake a series of qualification pathways that will take between two and four years, with dedicated time to study at college, as well as being given a Saffery mentor, who has recently been through the process, for additional support.

Saffery has had a base in Harrogate town centre since 1992 and the firm recently announced that its 84-strong Yorkshire team will be expanding into Leeds later this year, after signing a lease on new offices at Wellington Place.

Saffery was established in 1855 making it one of the UK’s longest-standing independent accounting firms. Today it employs more than 1,200 people across nine UK offices.
