About us
Blick Rothenberg are a leading tax, audit, accountancy and business advisory firm founded on personal integrity and technical expertise. Based in Covent Garden, London we employ approximately 800 people. Many of our clients are part of substantial groups with strong international connections. Others are SMEs (small and medium-sized enterprises) operated by their owner-managers, High Net Worth individuals, professional firms and charities.
Blick Rothenberg is committed to improving the diversity of its workforce across all levels by building a culture that’s genuinely inclusive, a culture where everyone can fulfil their potential and can be themselves.
We seek to attract smart talented people from the widest talent pool as well as those that reflect the diversity of the communities we live and work in.
BR supports flexible working (BRighter working) and aims to allow you to balance your life with the needs of colleagues and the high expectations of our clients.
Our values are our motivations
We have four key values, collaborative, authentic, respect and dynamic and these values are at the heart of everything we do. We are looking for people who also believe in these drivers as we work together to achieve success for both our colleagues and our clients alike.
About the role
Taking part in a placement year is a fantastic opportunity to gain hands on experience and understanding of the profession. This placement role is based within our Audit, Accounting and Outsourcing department. This means you will get to spend time working amongst a variety of teams throughout your placement year. You will gain a genuine mix of experience across business sectors, from large international corporates to small and medium sized UK businesses.
To help you settle into life at BR, you will be designated a buddy who will be able to support you throughout your placement. Following you returning to university after the placement year and graduating, there is an opportunity to join one of our graduate schemes.
This role will start in September 2025.
What can we offer you?
When you join Blick Rothenberg as an early careers professional, you gain much more than a qualification. You join the Blick Rothenberg culture and way of life. You will enjoy early responsibility and will find our business to be friendly and our working environment to be both lively and stimulating.
To balance the demands of a busy role and study, our teams host regular social events, and our annual firm-wide Summer and Christmas Parties are enjoyed by all. Our employee resource groups play a pivotal role in promoting a more inclusive culture and celebrate diverse perspectives that enrich our firm.
We are committed to the development of our people. We run regular in-house technical training courses as well as practical personal development training such as communication, teamwork, and transition to the workplace.
Skills & experience
For us, the personal attributes of each of our colleagues are what makes us authentic in the marketplace. We look for people who:
- Can collaborate with peers but can also bring their own voice to the table.
- Are dynamic in their approach and respectful of other people’s opinions.
- Want to be more than just a team member, someone who wants to join a business of likeminded individuals.
- Want to work in a medium-sized firm such as ours where your work opportunities will be varied.
- Are inquisitive and enjoy learning new concepts.
We are not looking for someone who knows everything already, but someone who is committed to their development and learning.
Good communication skills, both written and verbal, are also necessary, as is the ability to work as a member of a team.
To get the job that you’ll love you will:
- Be on track to achieve, a minimum 2:2 grade in your undergraduate degree.
- Be scheduled to graduate in 2027 and have a placement year confirmed as part of your undergraduate degree.
