Duncan & Toplis Work Experience

Duncan & Toplis offers short in-person work experience placements designed to give students an introductory insight into a career in accountancy. Placements typically last a week or two and pair participants with experienced mentors so they can learn about accountancy, tax and business advisory work while contributing to real projects and developing practical skills.

During the placement students spend time at one of the firm's offices across the UK, work on hands-on tasks, and network with trainees, colleagues and other work-experience students. The programme emphasises meaningful learning rather than menial tasks, helping participants build contacts, gain practical experience for future applications, and understand potential career pathways in accounting and finance.

Participants may be better placed to apply for Duncan & Toplis early-career roles after completing a placement. The firm operates multiple locations (see application instructions) and aims to match students with mentors aligned to their interests.

The programme is presented as inclusive of applicants regardless of gender, disability status or economic background.
