PwC appoints seven graduates to accounting jobs

PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) has filled seven of its graduate accounting jobs.

The firm has taken on the new staff at its Yorkshire offices, with more than half of the new intake having attended either the University of Sheffield or Sheffield Hallam University.

In addition to the seven new accounting jobs, PwC has also taken on two students from the Franklin College in Grimsby under its HEADstart programme, reports the Sheffield Telegraph.

Most of the new employees will be working in the company's assurance and public sector departments.

John Cowling, a senior partner at PwC LLP in Sheffield, said: "PwC believes in fostering and retaining the region's graduates along with supporting the local community.

"This will help to further strengthen our practice and our local expertise."

Last month, PwC announced its plans to recruit more than 1,000 students and graduates into jobs with the firm in 2010.

The majority of the jobs will be in its assurance practice, with others available in its tax and advisory divisions.
