Last checked on Menzies’ own recruitment system on Friday 13 November 2026.
Menzies is a UK accountancy and business advisory firm with offices across the south, the midlands and the north west. Their trainee hiring is unusual in two ways that matter to an applicant: they publish the salary on the advert, which almost nobody in the profession does, and they say plainly that trainee roles cannot be sponsored.

Visas: A clear no, and an unusually honest explanation. Their FAQ says: "Menzies is on the register of licensed sponsors. Unfortunately, our trainee positions do not fulfil the visa criteria... we are not able to progress applicants for this role who do not have the right to work in the UK." Being a licensed sponsor and being able to sponsor a given role are two different things, and this is the clearest statement of that difference we have found.

How Menzies recruits
Four stages on their own process page: the application, online testing, an online interview over Microsoft Teams, then a final stage. They also state where AI is and is not allowed: fine for polishing a CV, not during a live interview or assessment.
There is no deadline to miss. Their FAQ says: "There are no specific deadlines and trainee recruitment is an on-going process."
How the process usually runs
Stages as Menzies describes them. Timings vary by programme, so treat this as a guide rather than a commitment.
Worth knowing
- The placement is a real rotation rather than a track: twelve months through audit, tax and accounts, and the qualification you go on to is decided jointly at the end of it.
- Two of the 2027 streams, not for profit audit and technology risk, leave the salary field empty while the others fill it in. That is worth asking about rather than assuming it matches.
- They publish an AI rule most firms leave unsaid: use it on your CV if you like, not during a live interview or assessment.
Questions people ask about Menzies
What does a Menzies graduate trainee earn?
£32,000 a year on the 2027 ACA audit and ATT-CTA tax adverts in London, and £26,230 on the twelve month placement at Gatwick. Those are Menzies' own figures on their own adverts, not estimates.
Does Menzies sponsor visas?
No, for trainee roles. Their FAQ says Menzies is on the register of licensed sponsors but that trainee positions do not meet the visa criteria, so they cannot progress applicants without the right to work in the UK.
What degree do you need for Menzies?
The live 2027 adverts ask for a 2:2 in any discipline, plus two A levels at A to C and one other, and five GCSEs including maths and English. Be aware their ACA training page still says a 2:1, and their 2022 FAQ lists specific subjects.
What is the Menzies application process?
Four stages: application, online testing, an online interview on Microsoft Teams, then a final stage.
Can I use AI in a Menzies application?
On your CV, yes. During a live interview or assessment, no, and they say so on their own recruitment process page.
