Graduate Audit Trainee (ACCA) - Dublin / Film and TV - September 2025

Right now, we're looking for university graduates wanting to start their career in audit as a trainee certified accountant, studying towards the ACCA qualification. This will take three years to complete.

Located on St Stephens Green in Dublin, the Film and TV team services over 70% of the Irish film and TV market including significant inward investment projects, working regularly with Netflix, Disney, Lucasfilm, Apple etc.

Qualifying is not just about passing your exams; gaining valuable work experience is so important.

You'll work in a friendly and progressive environment on audit and accounts preparation assignments, with exposure to clients from different industries. We guarantee an exciting and varied learning experience.

We'll show you each part of a file review. You'll learn what information you need from a client and liaise directly with them. You may start with audit testing of simpler balances within financial statements, such as cash and share capital, and then progress to income and expenditure testing, involving detailed reviews of production service agreements and contracts of cast and crew members. By the end of your training contract, you'll be comfortable handling whole files by yourself, preparing you for progression into a senior audit role.

You'll also receive excellent training and support for your studies. We use first-class tuition centres and organise our own off-site trainee programmes. You'll get to meet and socialise with trainees across all offices, so it isn't all just work, and you can have fun too.

What you'll need

  • A minimum of 400 Leaving Certificate points or 120 UCAS points (or equivalent), and
  • A minimum of B (or equivalent) in GCSE/Junior Certificate Maths and English Language.

If you are unsure on the grade requirements or struggle to submit an application, please contact EarlyCareersTalent@saffery.com.

About the qualification

We offer a three-year ACCA training contract, with a view to becoming a qualified accountant.

What we'll offer you

Because you do the best job you can for our clients and your colleagues, we do everything we can for you. We provide a mixture of core and flexible benefits, all designed to save you money and make your life a little easier.

Core benefits

  • Annual leave allowance, which increases in line with length of service,
  • A 35-hour working week with flexibility around our core hours of 10am-4pm,
  • A contributory pension plan (we'll contribute 5% of salary on a matched basis with you from the date you join),
  • Life assurance cover based on 4 x annual salary,
  • Working from home allowance of €27 a month,
  • Our Profit-Sharing Plan, enabling you to share in the firm's profits (usually c.€1,000), and
  • Paid overtime or time off in lieu.

Other benefits

  • Our agile working policy gives you the option to work from home for up to three days per week,
  • Bike to Work scheme
  • Paid travel expenses when working at offices other than your contracted office.

We're also committed to being a fully inclusive employer and have a huge focus on equality, diversity and inclusion (ED&I). When you start with us, you'll have the opportunity to join a number of people network groups, as well as be a part of our growing ED&I network.
