The Birmingham office of national accountancy and business advisory firm BDO has recruited 44 new trainees.
The practice has taken on 15 apprentices and 29 graduates at its base in Snow Hill to work across its audit, tax, advisory and business services departments.
It is part of a wider expansion for the company that has seen it take on 430 new trainees across the business nationally.
The majority of graduates and apprentices will work towards an accountancy or taxation professional apprenticeship, equivalent to a master's degree alongside a professional qualification.
Richard Rose, partner and head of BDO in the Midlands, said: "Announcing new jobs and expansion is always great news for a company but it makes it even more satisfying when it is bringing through the next generation of business professionals.
"This is part of a major national expansion and it is fantastic that our Birmingham office is taking on more than ten per cent of the new trainees in the overall intake.
"We are looking forward to helping our latest intake become outstanding accountancy and business advisory professionals in the region to serve our ambitious clients across a range of sectors."
