Who are we?

MMG Chartered Accounts are a forward-looking accountancy firm who are relationship based and technology driven with offices in Dundee, Forfar, Montrose, Brechin, Perth and Crieff. Our strength lies in our people, who live by our five core values;

We have a keen focus on investing in our greatest assets, which means that we have developed a committed and formidable team of accountancy, tax, audit, virtual finance and payroll specialists.

Why you should join our team!

The graduate apprenticeship programme is an accredited work-based learning programme combining an honours degree from RGU with the globally recognised ICAS Chartered Accountant qualification over a five year period. This is mainly completed through supported online learning and some in person university days. Academic study is combined with the practical experience you obtain from working in the office whilst you are being supported by your mentor.

We will be accepting applications until 31.03.2024, so you won’t hear back until the start of April 2024 whether you have been selected for interview or not. Interviews will be held in April 2024 in person. The role will start late August 2024 and then the university course will commence the beginning of September 2024.

Throughout your five year course, you will move between each of our departments, such as Payroll, Virtual Finance, Accounts, Tax and Audit and gain experience to support your learning whilst working.

As an Apprentice you will receive:

- A salary of £14,500, which will increase each year you successfully pass your coursework

- One day per week to work on your coursework and attend online classrooms

- Flexibility of working in any of our six office locations, Dundee, Forfar, Montrose, Brechin, Perth and Crieff

- 31 days annual leave per annum with an accrual scheme
