Graduate opportunities with Knox Cropper LLP

Knox Cropper is an 8 partner firm of Chartered Accountants (comprising over 35 staff), based in central London, with additional offices in Surrey and Hertfordshire. We specialise in the not-for-profit sector and are one of the leading firms of Chartered Accountants providing services to charities, membership organisations, housing associations and trade unions.

We are an ICAEW approved training firm and our students are trained through the Mercia network and attend exam courses through Kaplan. This ensures that, as a trainee, you benefit from the support of the same group of trainees throughout the three year training contract enabling you to exchange views and mix with trainees from other firms.

We are looking to recruit a graduate who aspires to become a chartered accountant. We have high standards and are looking for candidates with excellent academic qualifications as well as drive, ambition and a thirst for success. Our firm will particularly appeal to graduates who have an interest in the not‑for‑profit sector and a desire to understand how the sector operates.

In return, you’ll enjoy a competitive salary and an excellent package (with salary increases based on exam success and work performance). There is also huge potential to progress within the firm, following qualification. Opportunities and a varied lifestyle that working in the Capital has to offer make this a very rewarding opportunity.

At Knox Cropper, our unique client base ensures that our trainees have exposure to a wide range of organisations, in both the not‑for‑profit and commercial sectors, providing audit, assurance, accountancy and specialist services. We want our trainees to succeed, and capable and committed individuals can expect rapid promotion to senior positions.

At Knox Cropper, we recruit graduates who display initiative, motivation and the ability to contribute effectively within a team. We recognise that our business is a people‑business and our staff are our most important resource. For our part we are committed to providing the highest quality of training for all our employees including practical instruction and on‑the‑job training. We offer a friendly, supportive environment with fully paid study leave through the Government’s Level 7 apprenticeship scheme and we cover the costs of all professional courses and exams.
