Ashmole & Co has announced the launch of its Accountancy Apprenticeship Scheme for 2026.
Those interested in training with Ashmole & Co can be school, college or university graduates. The firm will accept applications from those currently studying for their GCSEs, A Levels or Degree.
Ben Jones was one of three trainees that joined the Ashmole & Co team last year as part of the apprenticeship scheme. Ben started in the Llandeilo office in Carmarthenshire after obtaining his A Levels locally at Ysgol Bro Dinefwr. He had previously worked in the office during his school holidays to see if it was the right career path for him. Ben, who is Welsh speaking from Llangadog, has already passed two AAT Level Two exams since starting full time last September as he attends Coleg Sir Gar in Carmarthen one day a week.
Vinal Patel is one of Ashmole & Co’s newest Partners. He joined Ashmole & Co as a trainee, straight from school, in 2002.
He said:
“The majority of the Partners at Ashmole & Co did their training with the firm. We strongly believe it is important as a profession that we help to train the next generation of accountants. I joined Ashmole & Co as a trainee and progressed within the firm. Our apprenticeship scheme will give you the practical skills and qualifications to eventually become a fully qualified accountant. You will also be given the opportunity to experience a wide variety of client work and specialisms.”
Those joining the Ashmole & Co Apprenticeship Scheme straight from school will start on the AAT path to qualifications and those joining as college / university graduates will usually start on the ACCA qualification route.
The successful candidates will be offered a fully-funded training package in addition to Ashmole & Co’s basic salary. They will be given a permanent contract and be expected to work full time.
Ceri Llwyd, Partner in the Llandeilo and Llandovery Ashmole & Co offices, said:
“We are a local business and our commitment to sourcing local talent stems from our belief that the success of our business is closely tied to the well-being of the community around us. By hiring locally, we can help build a more robust and resilient economy.”
