Graduate Trainee
I applied for my training position at Lubbock
Fine through their online application system,
it opens up at the beginning of your final
academic year of university. From day one,
Lubbock Fine has given me the sort of valuable
hands-on experience that wouldn’t necessarily
be provided by larger firms. The supportive
culture here means that trainees are given
every opportunity to learn. All the partners
and managers are very friendly, approachable
and always on hand to guide us in the right
direction. Each of us gets individual mentoring
with frequent one-to-one meetings.
Since I started working here in September
2012 I have had numerous opportunities to
work on a wide variety of audits, accounts
and tax jobs. There is no doubt that this has
helped me tremendously in my ACA studies.
If I had to give other grads any advice?
When choosing to apply you will find
yourself applying to lots of different firms.
If you are lucky enough to have a lot of
offers and opportunities, pick the place that
feels right for you. From my very first day in
the office I knew that I had made the right
choice to join this firm. •
Training offered
