Audit Trainee Programme for 2026

We’re delighted to advise that the Ormsby & Rhodes Audit Trainee Programme for 2026 is officially open for applications. The Tax trainee programme will open in 2026. Further details to follow.

Trainee Chartered Tax Advisers and Trainee Chartered Accountancy roles are primarily based in our Tax and Audit Departments; however, graduates joining the firm will have the opportunity to gain experience in other aspects of the business, such as outsourced accountancy, payroll, company secretarial, and corporate finance—just one of the distinct advantages of joining Ormsby & Rhodes.

For decades, Ormsby & Rhodes has been providing graduates with the opportunity to gain work experience in a professional and dynamic environment, and we are excited to welcome new trainees for 2026.

Since January 2025 Ormsby & Rhodes is now an AAB Group company. Together, we have significant presence and strength across Ireland and the UK and with that comes great career opportunities for our team. Ormsby & Rhodes is the Republic of Ireland member of BKR International, a worldwide network of professional advisory firms that our clients benefit from when expanding internationally. Furthermore, as a member of AAB Group, we are recognised as a UK & Irish Best Place to Work.

Membership of BKR offers our graduates the opportunity to work on cross-border projects and potentially to work in other jurisdictions.

What can graduates expect?

We pride ourselves on offering our graduates a great work/life balance and the opportunity to advance their careers post-qualification. Many of our current partners began their journey as graduates, showcasing the potential for real career advancement within our firm. We believe in continuous learning and knowledge sharing, with opportunities to learn from our highly experienced partners and senior leaders. We ensure trainees gain exposure to our diverse client range, which spans a wide range of sectors.

We will support the successful candidates in completing their professional Tax and Chartered Accountancy exams. Graduates can also expect a thriving social life with events organised throughout the year and the opportunity to raise funds for our chosen charity partner. What’s more, Ormsby & Rhodes, an AAB Group Company, is located less than 10-minutes’ walk from Chartered Accountancy Ireland and a 15-minute walk from the Irish Tax Institute making it even easier to attend lectures and meet fellow trainees.

What we are looking for

We are looking for graduates who are ambitious and keen to specialise in audit. Graduates should be ready for a hands-on experience and have a strong academic record. They must show initiative, have a willingness to learn, and have demonstrated in the past an interest in gaining practical experience in their chosen career.

We are currently accepting applications from those wishing to pursue the ACA exams (CTA details to follow in 2026) and either have or are working towards a 2.1 degree.

Ready to get started?

If you’re ready to start your journey in a firm that values continuous learning, offers a collaborative environment, and provides growth opportunities both professionally and personally, Ormsby & Rhodes, an AAB Group Company, is the place for you!
