We are delighted to welcome our new student intake for 2025/2026

We are delighted to welcome a talented new group of students and interns joining us this year. Based across our five offices, this year’s intake will gain first-hand experience across a wide range of service lines, working alongside our teams while studying for their professional qualifications. The combination of technical training and real-world experience will provide a strong foundation for their professional development as they embark on their careers in accountancy, tax and business advisory. 

Joint Managing Partners, Alex Peal and Sue Staunton, commented: "We are delighted to welcome our new students this year and look forward to supporting them on their journey. At James Cowper Kreston, our people are at the heart of everything we do. We are committed to nurturing new talent and ensuring our firm remains a place where ambition and innovation thrive." 

Richard Dickson, HR Director, added: "Our annual student intake brings together graduates, school leavers and interns from diverse backgrounds. We are proud of the strong relationships we have built with local schools, colleges and universities, which enable us to attract bright, motivated individuals who are ready to start their careers in accountancy, tax and advisory services." 

At James Cowper Kreston, students benefit from structured training programmes that combine learning, technical skill development and client-facing work. Alongside gaining professional qualifications, they have the opportunity to develop wider business advisory skills – from working with entrepreneurs and family businesses to advising international companies. 

We are committed to investing in the next generation of accountants and business advisors, and we are proud to see our former students progress into senior positions across the firm. Our career pathways are designed to help students maximise their potential, whether they aspire to specialise in audit, tax, business restructuring, corporate finance, or other advisory areas. With tailored support, mentoring, and a culture that encourages career progression, many of our trainees go on to build long-term and rewarding careers with the firm.  

Applications for our 2026/2027 student intake will open shortly. For more details please click here.
