Inside Careers Guide to Chartered Accountancy

EMPLOYER DIRECTORY
Hillier Hopkins has held the Investor In People
accreditation since 1994. More than merely a badge
of honour, many of our current Principals’ careers
developed from the starting point of ACA student
to currently leading the Firm. In fact, our Managing
Principal started as a student with us. Hillier
Hopkins recognise that giving scope of opportunity
and responsibility at an early stage can enhance
knowledge, skills and attitude to a person’s future.
With a growing and diverse client base, as an ACA
student, you can expect to work on a range of
demanding assignments in any one year. Working
closely with a variety of professional members and
qualified staff you will learn technical skills and see
the results of your input from an early stage. You’ll
work on practical assignments which are directly
relevant to your professional examinations and be
given feedback along the way.
Not everyone fits in with our style, but here’s an
indicator of what we are looking for:
• Intelligent, articulate and independent mind with
warm, lively interpersonal skills.
• A graduate (with or expecting to achieve a 2:1
degree or above) with good A levels (a minimum
of 300 UCAS points, or equivalent, excluding
general studies).
• Looking to enjoy the challenge of working as
part of a team to deliver results.
• Committed to your career with a business-like
attitude.
• Willingness to accept responsibility early on.
• Aim to study hard and pass exams first time.
• A good networker of people.
• Able to be based from Watford, Hertfordshire,
