When it comes to attracting and retaining top talent, Chartered Accountants Ireland has practical supports for training organisations.

We are offering Registered Training Organisations a financial incentive for taking on additional trainee(s) on the training contract route in 2025/26. A credit of €1,000/£900 is available against fees of each additional student recruited.  

For example, a firm who took on one student in 2024, and in 2025 decides to take on two students, will secure a credit to their account of €1,000/£900. 

The credit is applied in the year that the student joins the organization and is valid for up to a maximum of 4 students, meaning you can save up to €4,000/£3,600.

We have a limited number of incentives available. To avail of the incentive, please register your interest with us by emailing incentive@charteredaccountants.ie.
