Crowe UK adds 96 trainees across national offices

Crowe UK, an audit, tax, advisory and consulting practice, has welcomed 96 trainees as part of its 2026 intake.

The recruits will be based in Cheltenham, Kent, Manchester, London, the Midlands and the Thames Valley.

They will join teams covering tax, corporate audit, business advisory and accounting, social purpose and non-profit audit, and financial reporting.

According to a statement, the trainees will complete an induction programme during their first weeks at the company.

The induction programme is designed to introduce the new employees to Crowe’s culture, values and working practices. It will also help the new starters connect with colleagues across the business.

Crowe CEO Mitesh Patelia said: “We are delighted to welcome 96 trainees to Crowe as they begin this exciting stage of their professional journey.

“These talented individuals bring fresh perspectives, enthusiasm and ambition, and we are committed to supporting their development through high-quality training, professional qualifications and meaningful client experience.

“As Crowe continues to invest in its people, our Early Careers programme remains a key part of our strategy to attract, develop and retain future talent, providing opportunities for people to build rewarding careers. It is also central to our long-term success.”

The intake is part of Crowe’s Early Careers programme, which offers graduate roles, school leaver opportunities, internships and placements.

Trainees receive support towards professional qualifications, structured learning and development, mentoring, and experience working with clients in a range of sectors.

Crowe’s latest intake follows its fifth year of sponsorship of the 10,000 Black Interns programme run by the 10,000 Interns Foundation.

Crowe Talent Acquisition head Alicia Zarandi said: “Expanding access to our opportunities is an important part of our Early Careers strategy, but it is equally important that students have a positive, fair and engaging experience throughout the process, and that we continue to attract the talent our business needs.

“Through meaningful partnerships, targeted outreach and the support of our internal networks, we work to ensure our opportunities reach a wide range of students and graduates, while maintaining a strong focus on quality, potential and long-term fit.

“Our goal is to balance reach, experience and outcomes, ensuring talented students can access our opportunities, enjoy a positive recruitment journey and thrive in careers that support our business’s future success.”

Earlier this year, Crowe appointed Adam Rollason as a partner in its national Tax team.
