Testimonials From our Trainees

For me, what sets RAiN apart from any other firm is the exposure you get. In other firms, if you are an audit trainee, that is all you do, audit. But at RAiN, that is not the case. As a trainee I assisted on audits, financial management engagements, tax work, consulting work and even assisted in proposals for business. This type of exposure makes you a confident and well-rounded professional. And to sweeten the deal, you get to do all of this in an environment where your colleagues are supportive, helpful and just fun to work with.

The RAiN training contract was the perfect choice for me as it allowed me to deliver different pieces of work on various projects. The supervision, skills and training provided in-depth knowledge, experience, and allowed me the ability to engage at levels beyond my expectations.

I liked the RAiN training program because my level in the firm did not determine the type of projects that l was able execute. The single most important factor that is considered at RAIN is the individual's competency. Furthermore, it’s an environment where you are able to try out new things, make mistakes and learn. The trainee programme prepares you for independent problem solving and challenges that you’re bound to face.
