What our Graduates say

“Joining the bennettbrooks Graduate Academy has been an incredibly rewarding experience. From day one, I was welcomed into a supportive and friendly team that truly values collaboration. No matter who I turn to, there’s always someone willing to help, making it easier to develop my skills and grow in my role.

One of the standout aspects of the graduate program is how much bennettbrooks invests in our professional development. The study days allocated for college and revision sessions have been invaluable in preparing for my ACA exams, and the
continuous support from the team helps make the challenging exam periods much more manageable.

Beyond work and studies, bennettbrooks also emphasises giving back to the community. I’ve been able to use my volunteering time to donate blood, and the firm actively supports various charitable initiatives, allowing us to make a positive impact outside of our professional roles.

With its welcoming team, strong career support, and commitment to community involvement, the bennettbrooks Graduate Academy is a fantastic place to begin a career in accountancy. I’m grateful to be part of such a supportive and inspiring environment.”

Darun – 2024 Graduate Academy

“I have greatly enjoyed my time at bennettbrooks so far. My colleagues are amazing – everyone is really friendly and they are always happy to help me in any way they can. I also really enjoy the work, and it goes alongside the studying well as you start to see the processes you learn throughout the course appear in real life situations, which is by far the best way to learn.”
