Our Graduate Positions - Job Description and Application Form

 

Harbinson Mulholland are a dynamic and innovative firm, based in Belfast City Centre. 

We are currently recruiting graduate trainee accountants to join our team in September 2023

This is outstanding opportunity to join a growing firm, working with some of Northern Ireland’s top SMEs.

We are looking for enthusiastic, hardworking graduates to make a strategic career move into an innovative organisation where there is significant opportunity to learn and progress, where the partners are committed to the long term, professional growth of our entire team.

 

Tom Swatman, trained with Harbinson Mulholland and now works for boutique Belfast M&A advisory firm, HNH Partners, performing financial due diligence, building financial models and advising clients in both buy-side and sell-side scenarios.

 “When looking for a training contract, I wanted somewhere that would treat me as an individual, and that’s exactly what I got at HM.” 

Tom spent most of his time in the Audit & Accounts team but had 8 months in Tax and assisted with some Forensic cases.  He also spent significant time on external secondments.  “I found auditing whole companies and creating accounts from a trial balance intellectually satisfying and really helped with the exams – when you do double entry every day, it becomes second nature!  Being on secondment allowed me to draw upon my significant previous experience and I enjoyed being thrown into the middle of a situation and working to improve things.”

  “I’m grateful for the time I spent at HM - they are a highly regarded firm in the local market and I would recommend them to anyone considering training as a Chartered Accountant.”
