At Fortus, we believe an apprenticeship is more than just a job – it’s the first step toward building a successful, rewarding career in accountancy. Whether you’re starting from scratch or looking to advance your skills, our apprenticeship programmes provide the perfect blend of structured learning, hands-on experience, and dedicated support to help you thrive in the industry.
Our apprenticeship programmes are designed to give you real-world exposure while you work towards an industry-recognised qualification. Unlike traditional study routes, apprenticeships allow you to earn while you learn, develop technical expertise, and gain practical experience from day one.
We offer a variety of career-focused apprenticeships, each designed to help individuals grow within the accounting profession. These include:
– AAT (Association of Accounting Technicians) – A perfect starting point for those beginning their finance careers.
– ACA (Associate Chartered Accountant) & ACCA (Association of Chartered Certified Accountants) – Advanced qualifications for those seeking to become fully chartered accountants.
– ATT (Association of Taxation Technicians) – Ideal for individuals looking to specialize in tax.
– Payroll Apprenticeships – For those wanting to develop payroll expertise while working with real businesses.
Our apprenticeships provide the technical knowledge and hands-on experience needed to succeed. By working with real clients, you’ll develop essential problem-solving skills, communication techniques, and financial expertise – all while earning a qualification that opens doors to a long-term career.
Our apprentices aren’t just trainees – they are an essential part of our team. From your first day, you’ll receive structured training, mentorship, and opportunities to apply what you learn in a supportive and engaging environment.
We’re not just here to help you get a qualification – we’re here to support your entire career journey. Our apprentices play a key role in Fortus’ success, and we’re committed to helping them develop, grow, and achieve their career goals.
– Growing Together – As our apprentices gain new skills, Fortus benefits too. We invest in people who are committed to learning, developing, and becoming the future leaders of the industry.
– Career Progression – We pride ourselves on retaining apprentices after the completion of their studies and provide opportunities for further training, specialisations, and leadership roles.
What sets Fortus apart is our people, culture, and commitment to your success. Our apprenticeship programmes are more than just a stepping stone—they’re a pathway to a long-term career in accountancy.
– Supportive & Inclusive Culture – We create an environment where you feel valued, challenged, and encouraged to grow.
– Practical Experience from Day One – Work on real client projects, gaining insights that go beyond textbooks.
– A Career, Not Just a Job – Having conversations at the start of your career journey helps create a mutual understanding of what you’d like to achieve and how we can work to make this happen.
If you’re looking for an engaging, rewarding, and supportive apprenticeship experience, Fortus is the place to start. Join us and take the first step towards a successful career in accountancy!
