JOHNSTON Carmichael, the business advisory and accountancy firm, has hailed a record intake of 93 students this year.
It includes school leavers, summer interns and graduates who will train to become qualified accountants. The firm said this year’s intake is the largest since the firm was established almost 90 years ago and is part of its commitment to “grow its own” leaders.
The new recruits will be spread across the company 13 offices. The group includes graduates, who will undertake training to become qualified accountants, interns, and school leavers joining through the firm’s JC Futures scheme. The four-to-six-year training opportunity offers school leavers a route to full qualification as an accountant.

Martin Osler, the firm's chief people officer, said: "I’d like to welcome each and every one of our new student recruits to Johnston Carmichael. It’s extremely encouraging that we have secured such a large intake of talented young individuals amid a very tight labour market.
"Recruiting, retaining and developing our people is a top priority for the firm as we seek to continue the high performance and high-quality services that distinguish us in the marketplace. I hope the young people who have joined us have a wonderful experience as they take their first steps towards developing their careers."
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
