At Fitzgerald Power, our Graduate Programme stands out from the rest – because we do things a little differently.

What will you do?

In your first week, we will go over the basics; setting up your LinkedIn profile; teaching the basics of writing professional emails; and showing you how to use Microsoft Office in an accountancy practice. We will then show you how to use our accounting software packages using real-world data and introduce you to your buddy (an allocated Fitzgerald Power team member) who will help to settle you into your new role. We will also give you guidance on how to get your accounting qualification, helping you to decide which route to take, which school to use and how to apply, as well as the funding and required time off.

After induction, you will join your team either in our Pharmacy, SME or Corporate Finance departments. Here you will work closely with your buddy; shadowing them to learn the ropes before working independently on assigned objectives whilst gaining industry and client knowledge. 

Finally, we will complete a schedule for exams with you to keep your learning and progression on track. After this, we will continue to monitor your progress, ensuring that you receive the best possible learning and support during the graduate programme. Once you are up and running on your training route to become a qualified accountant, we will then offer you an incentivised salary, which will reflect your progression, as well as plans to continue your career journey with Fitzgerald Power right up to partner level.

Your success is our future – We’re in this together!
