About This Form

Please complete this form fully and accurately. Note that applications may close early if we receive enough suitable candidates for our assessment centres. Therefore, please complete this form as soon as possible.

First, we need to gather your personal details. Then, we will ask about your university qualification (we only accept those predicted or achieved 2:1 Honours degrees or above).

Finally, we ask a few questions. We strongly encourage applicants to answer these questions authentically and truthfully without the use of AI (we have tools we can use to check this). We will use these answers to decide whether to take your application to the next stage. Give it your best shot!

Please note that this application form is the main deciding factor for selection to our assessment centres. Make sure you take your time to complete your responses to clearly reflect your experience and motivation for the role.

Thank you for your time and interest in Johnston Carmichael, Scotland’s largest independent firm of accountants and business advisors. We will be in touch again soon.
