What our students say
“Coming from a science background at university, I did worry that my lack of accountancy knowledge would hold me back. I learnt very quickly at Hillier Hopkins it didn’t matter what my academic background was, I would be supported and encouraged from the start and throughout my training contract. It’s been a great place to start my career.” Will Hughes, ACA Associate
“During my first 3 months I have already had the opportunity to engage in varied tasks across a multitude of client industries. I have experienced nothing but support from fellow students and managers. HH is a friendly firm with a nurturing and motivating environment. I am confident that HH will help me to unlock my full potential and reach my career goals.” Mahra Ahmed, ACA Associate
