Scholarships & Job Guarantee Program with Harris & Trotter

Harris & Trotter Digital Assets, the world's largest dedicated digital assets audit & accounting firm, valued at over $85million, with close to 600 crypto native organizations as clients and 50 dedicated staff, partners with The Accountant Quits to offer scholarships for students of the Crypto Accounting Academy. 

With this new partnership, students will first immerse themselves in a 7-week intensive training on managing businesses using cryptocurrency. 

The twist? 

The training, currently valued at USD2,000, is entirely free for those selected, with the promise of something even more substantial - a permanent position in the Harris & Trotter Digital Assets department team upon completion. 

It’s important to note that the positions offered in accounting, tax & advisory would require the person to be physically present at their London headquarters office. And if you’re worried about logistics, Harris & Trotter is also offering UK visa sponsorships for the right candidates.

One significant hurdle in growing our practice is finding the right accounting talent who demonstrates an eagerness to learn cryptocurrencies and general web3. The Accountant Quits is doing vital work in educating a global audience of accountants & CFOs, and we wanted to tap into their growing pool of students, offering them a chance to shape the future of our firm whilst providing them a platform to redefine the future of accounting and a chance to build a lasting legacy

- said Nicholas Newman, CEO at Harris & Trotter Digital Assets.

What this partnership means for you

If you’ve cut your teeth at a Big4 firm or another top accounting firm, you’ve been through a rigorous & highly sought-after working methodology and have a huge boost on your resume. 

Transitioning to a company like Harris & Trotter will now enable you to specialize in emerging blockchain technology and bulletproof your career so you don’t become a redundant accountant.

I’ve visited Harris & Trotter’s incredible new London office - an environment that rivals the best of Silicon Valley. I’ve recorded podcasts, workshops, in-person panel discussions and spoken to many of their employees, and their knowledge of web3 accounting is truly commanding. Given how much they’re innovating as a fintech accountancy firm by having their own coding department as well,  it’s a no-brainer move for any accountant/auditor to transition from a Big4/BDO and join Harris & Trotter”
