Bishop Fleming has been ranked 14th in the Top 100 Apprenticeship Employers list for 2022.
The accountancy firm recruited a record 64 apprentices in 2021 and is on track to appoint a further 60 to 70 this autumn, taking the total number of apprentices who have embarked on the programme to over 170 since it was started three years ago.
Having posted record fee growth of 19% in 2021-2022, Bishop Fleming expects its overall headcount grow to 500 this year.
Bishop Fleming’s scheme includes a rotation-based programme, enabling some apprentices to experience all areas of the business whilst others develop a deeper specialism in one area, supplemented with coaching, mentoring and study leave.
Partner and People Director Anna Averis said: “We are delighted to receive this recognition for our leading apprenticeship programme which is now among the very best in our sector. As one of only a few accounting firms to have been awarded Employer-Provider status, we are able to develop and deliver our own tailored apprenticeship programme. This is now delivering real results and is integral to our wider growth ambition.”
