New cohort of students begin their professional accountancy training with leading East Anglian firm

A new wave of talent is set to embark on their professional accountancy training at Larking Gowen, a leading firm in East Anglia. On Monday, 2 September, 29 ambitious students will join the firm. The new intake is testimony to the firm’s commitment to nurturing future talent.

This diverse group of students includes school leavers, university graduates and placement year undergraduates who will be bringing their skills to Larking Gowen’s offices in Norfolk, Suffolk and north Essex, working towards a variety of qualifications in accountancy and taxation, as well as other specialised qualifications.

Julie Grimmer, Managing Partner at Larking Gowen, commented, “The students join one day before my 40th anniversary with the firm. The whole profession has changed greatly since I started my training. We are proud to still be offering comprehensive training programmes for large numbers of new trainees. I warmly welcome this year’s cohort and look forward to seeing them realise their potential as individuals.”

Julie emphasised that Larking Gowen’s training programmes are about more than just passing exams. “Our commitment to our students goes beyond their initial training. We offer a career-long development path, providing a wide range of experiences within the business. Our experienced professionals will mentor and support them at every stage of their journey.”

Reflecting on her own career, Julie added, “I hope that, like me, our new trainees will build long-lasting careers at Larking Gowen and make the most of the opportunities that lie ahead.”
