The place to think ahead

Summer placements are available across our office network and will give you an insight into what it’s like to work with us and an idea of the career potential we offer.
Our summer placements offer one to two undergraduates per office the opportunity to join us for six weeks working in departments such as Audit, Business Services and Taxation.
Throughout your placement, you’ll also be asked to prepare a short presentation on a research topic. For this, you’ll interview people across the firm, improving your knowledge, research and networking skills.
If you’re in your penultimate year of university study, you’re welcome to apply.
Our summer placement is all about learning in a hands-on way that is as wide and varied as possible with, and from, experienced colleagues who are supportive and friendly.
We open our application process in December and collate applications across the Christmas break. The process includes:
We aim to have selected individuals for summer placements across the firm by late spring.
A Level students are welcome to apply for work experience in the majority of our offices.
It’s a great opportunity to find out what it’s like to work with us, to see if a career in accountancy is for you and if an apprenticeship is the right way into the profession.
Over the course of a week, you’ll get exposure to our Business Services department to help and understand how to prepare year-end accounts, management accounts, prepare forecasts and projections, and help with compliance in areas such as company and business taxation, company secretarial matters and VAT returns.
The placement weeks are advertised on our website at the start of the academic year and we try to offer placements in half term holidays.
To apply, you should submit a CV and cover letter (via our recruitment portal) explaining why you are interested in completing a placement with PKF Francis Clark.
