Accountancy Academies in Yorkshire

Originating at our Leeds centre, our hugely popular Accountancy Academies are now in their 5th year. Every year, school students, usually aged between 16 and 18, join our local Accountancy Academy. For us, this provides an opportunity to share the reasons why our industry is such a great career path for anyone with an interest in this field. We provide information on routes into the industry, set practical tasks to get our attendees thinking like an accountant, and then offer advice on finding roles and preparing for interviews. We finish off with an employer Q&A forum, where our attendees get to meet some of our clients and ask any questions they may have.

Accountancy Summer School – what we cover

Whilst some students have a very clear idea about the career they would like to pursue, there are equally many who are unsure. The Academy gives the attendees a chance to explore the industry in a little more detail and decide whether it could be a suitable path for them. Many of our attendees go on to study accountancy either at university or as part of an apprenticeship.  The topics we cover within the Academy are as follows:

  • Careers in accountancy
  • How to get started
  • Study pathways
  • CV and interview tips
  • An employer Q&A forum

Format of our Accountancy Summer School

Held at both our Leeds & Sheffield centres over 2 days by our team of industry experts. The days include both practical and written tasks which are demonstrated in a presentation at the end of day 1. Day 2 sees local employers attend to present to the group, conduct mock interviews and and answer questions from attendees about their companies and the different roles within them.  The First Intuition Team will provide information on the different qualifications and study routes available.

When do they run?

They run annually, with the Leeds event held in the February half term and the Sheffield event in the April Easter holidays.
