About Us

For nearly a century, our client has been building a firm as accountants, auditors, tax specialists and close advisors to clients operating in emerging markets, disrupting the status quo.

This has accelerated thanks to the blockchain. In 2017, a client asked to help with an ICO and they have been crypto pilled ever since, developing into what is currently the leading professional services firm on chain.

In 2023, they opened a new leg of the business to carve out a team dedicated to all things Web3, which is now over 80 strong and servicing near 600 digital asset clients globally. They partner with some of the industry's most influential players—cryptocurrency exchanges, blockchain innovators, Web3 pioneers, and digital asset funds—offering tailored audit, tax, and advisory services that keep pace with this fast-evolving landscape.

The Opportunity

We’re seeking a bright and ambitious graduate to join as a Graduate Trainee. This is a unique opportunity to build a career that bridges the traditional world of accounting with the cutting-edge field of digital assets. You'll be supported through a training contract to obtain the ICAEW ACA qualification, while gaining hands-on experience across audit, financial reporting, and cryptocurrency accounting.

What You’ll Be Doing

You’ll work closely with experienced professionals and exciting clients, gaining exposure to both core accountancy work and emerging challenges in digital finance. Key areas of responsibility include:

• Assisting in audits for blockchain and digital asset clients, from planning through to completion.
• Preparing financial statements in accordance with UK GAAP and IFRS, with a focus on digital asset accounting.
• Navigating the complexities of crypto transactions, including fair value measurement, proof-of-reserves, and evolving regulations.
• Supporting tax calculations and compliance, particularly around crypto asset taxation.
• Building relationships with clients, gaining insight into how blockchain businesses operate.
• Advancing through the ACA qualification with comprehensive support, training, and mentorship.
