Coming from a variety of backgrounds, these talented individuals have been hand-picked from high schools, universities, and industry. They are joining Thomson Cooper Accountants across the firm’s accounting, audit, outsourcing, insolvency and agri departments.

Their training will involve examinations with the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Scotland (ICAS) and the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants (ACCA), with the trainees working towards a range of qualification levels, including Modern and Graduate apprenticeships.

To set them up for success, the trainees are all directly supported by the senior colleagues within their team. All are on unique training programmes specifically tailored to elevate and enhance their technical knowledge and skills within their respective roles. Their training has a focus on working together with different departments, promoting Thomson Cooper’s values and culture of providing a client-centric service.

Alan Mitchell, managing partner, said: “The new team members mark another step in our continued growth as a business.

“We look forward to providing a fully supported training and development programme to allow each to achieve their career training ambitions.”
