Upon completion of the test section, I was invited to an online interview a few days later. After successfully completing that, I was invited to the office for an in person interview and case study exercise. Offer received within 3 weeks of initial application. Saffery were far and away the quickest and most professional firm I applied to.

I applied towards the end of 2022 for the trainee chartered accountant role and had three interviews in addition to assessments. The first was a phone call with HR, the second was a call over Zoom and the third was an in-person assessment day which included an interview with a partner. My experience was generally good however the process was drawn out over approximately four months which did ruin my experience.
