Baker Tilly Channel Islands Trainee programme

Applications are now open for our 2026 Trainee Programme, with a start date in Summer 2026.

Training with Baker Tilly Channel Islands supports your journey towards a Chartered Accountant qualification while gaining valuable, real-world experience across a wide range of sectors and disciplines.

Choosing a career path after school or university can feel overwhelming, especially if you’re unsure what roles like audit, tax, or advisory really involve. At Baker Tilly Channel Islands, we combine structured professional training with hands-on experience, giving you clarity, confidence, and support from day one.

We’re looking for motivated school leavers and graduates who want to work towards a globally recognised accountancy qualification while being part of a supportive, people-first team. As a trainee, you’ll work towards ICAS, ICAEW, or ACCA, while developing practical business skills and gaining exposure to real clients and real challenges.

Joining our trainee programme means more than studying for exams. You’ll be trusted, supported, and encouraged to take ownership of your career, with flexibility to explore different areas of the business and grow at your own pace within a locally owned firm that’s part of a global top 10 network.

We welcome applications from school leavers and graduates ready to pursue a Chartered Accountancy qualification with a growing, independent firm.
