You might be a graduate. A school leaver. Or looking for work experience. Well you’re in the right place. We’re not your traditional grey boring accountancy firm. We’re always on the lookout for new CPers to join our medal-winning teams.
We offer roles across the business. In Audit with teams specialising in Pensions, Big Business, Private Business and Not For Profit. In Tax, both Corporate and Personal.
We also recruit for roles in our Outsourcing, Innovation, Finance, Tech & High Growth and Wealth teams. There are lots of opportunities across CP. And there’re lots of good reasons to join CP.
For four years straight, we’ve featured in the Top 25 of the UK’s Best Companies to Work For. We’re ranked number one in the first ever Accountancy Age Mid-Tier Power Index. We’re proudly B Corp accredited. And we’ve picked up a handful of prizes at the last two European Engagement Awards, including Best Place to Work in Europe. There’s no other team we’d rather be in.
