Accountancy Graduate Apprenticeship (Scotland)

Shape the numbers. Break the mould.

At Lloyds Banking Group, Finance is less about adding things up and more about making things happen. Big things.

It’s the engine room that powers the organisation. It’s strategy. It’s insight. It’s action. And for those joining as Finance apprentices, they’re not just along for the ride—they’re driving.

From the moment they join, they’re in the thick of it: shaping decisions, driving change, and helping deliver for millions of customers.

See the big picture

This is a five-year all-access pass to the inner workings of the UK’s biggest bank. Finance apprentices rotate through different teams—within Finance and beyond—to see every angle of how the Group operates.

They could be:

• Keeping things on track in Core Finance with monthly reporting, budgeting, and forecasting.
• Spotting the fine print in Audit & Assurance so nothing slips through the cracks.
• Acting as a safety net in Risk & Governance.
• Plotting big moves in Strategic Business Management.
• Steering the money in Taxation & Treasury.
• Or stepping outside Finance entirely—working with other business areas, getting closer to customers, and seeing how Lloyds Banking Group helps Britain prosper.

Along the way, they’ll collect stories, skills, and lifelong friends.

Swap theory for action

This isn’t “sit quietly and take notes” learning. This is “grab a seat at the table” learning.

Finance apprentices forecast performance, produce key reports, analyse risk, advise on investments, and solve complex problems alongside multi-skilled teams of finance and tech experts. All while gaining a 360° view of how Finance powers the Group.

They’ll master how to create, verify, and review accurate, timely financial information. And they’ll grow soft skills like collaboration, communication, and influencing (the good kind).

Plus, they’ll get hands-on with tech that makes old-school spreadsheets look like cave paintings—data analytics platforms, next-gen reporting tools, and more.

And because Lloyds Banking Group backs talent, apprentices will have plenty of chances to show what they can do—and surprise even themselves—early on.
