Saffery Announces Recruitment of 144 Trainees in the UK and Ireland
Accountancy firm Saffery has announced plans to recruit 144 trainees across its UK and Dublin offices during the 2026/27 financial year. The recruitment will begin with 107 trainees joining in September 2026, followed by an additional 37 in January 2027. Trainees will be based at Saffery's ten locations across the UK and Ireland and will work in audit and assurance, tax, accounts, and client payroll teams. The recruits include graduates, school leavers, and apprentices who will follow a structured qualification pathway combining professional study with practical experience. The firm currently has 347 trainees working on accountancy, audit, and tax qualifications. In addition to the new intake, Saffery plans to continue its early careers programmes for students considering roles in professional services. The company also announced it will recruit 21 interns across its offices and offer six- and twelve-month placements to eight penultimate-year university students during the next academic year. These placements are part of a broader strategy aimed at developing future talent through training, technical skills development, and exposure to AI-related topics via Saffery's Kickstart Programme.
