MHA Moore and Smalley announces record trainee intake

Preston-based accountancy and business advisory firm MHA Moore and Smalley has announced its 2023 trainee intake will be its largest ever.

The firm will create 60 new trainee positions, consisting a mix of university, college and sixth form graduates to positions within its tax, audit and advisory teams. Last year, the firm took on 37 new trainees.

The recruits will work across the firm’s offices in Lancashire, Greater Manchester, Merseyside and Cumbria.

They will start in September and will study towards professional qualifications while being mentored by experienced colleagues.

Graham Gordon, managing partner for MHA Moore and Smalley, said: "To get the talent our clients are going to need in the years ahead will require us to recruit and train people at all levels of the firm.

"Investing in our trainee programme is particularly important for us as it allows us to continually refresh the firm with new skills and become more resilient to future challenges.

"We have expanded our trainee programme significantly in the last few years and this is allowing us to develop a new generation of talent. We want trainees to develop great futures with us where there are always growth opportunities and clear paths for career progression."
