Access Accountancy are on a mission to empower all to thrive in the world of accountancy.
To achieve that, we’ve partnered with accountancy organisations across the UK to bring career-launching work experience placements to state school students.
We partner with a variety of organisations and professional bodies to offer exciting work experience placements for young people from low socio-economic backgrounds, in order to help them gain an insight into accountancy.
