Price Bailey announces trainee and apprenticeship opportunities

As students receive exam results today, Price Bailey announces trainee and apprenticeship openings across East Anglia. The chartered accountancy and business advisory firm operates across 11 offices in the UK, with a notable presence in the East of England, and was recently recognised by Best Companies as an ‘Outstanding Company to Work For’ for the fourth consecutive year.

Price Bailey recruits’ trainees twice a year, in February and August. Positions for February 2026 are now open for applications, while those for August 2026 will become available in October. In 2025, the firm has hired over 50 school leavers and graduate trainees, as well as three individuals on a 12-month placement programme.

For trainees, Price Bailey offers a range of benefits, including study support toward the relevant accountancy qualifications, paid time off for college and revision, assigns a mentor to new trainees, and offers a development programme focused on soft skill development. Trainees participate in client work from the outset, with the opportunity to develop fast in their role.

Duncan Crooks, Talent Acquisition Senior Manager at Price Bailey, comments:

On average it takes a school leaver five years to fully qualify and a graduate three years, so our trainees can expect a promotion every 12-18 months on average. By the time they are fully qualified they are project managing jobs and overseeing small teams – for anyone interested in further developing their career with us, there is a structured pathway to, ultimately, Partner level. Most importantly, all of our PB People can expect plenty of support along the way thanks to our fantastic internal development programmes.
