I have heard from a friend that apprenticeship leavers are more ready for work. But bigger companies prefer university graduates. Is this true in accounting? I would love to work for a big accounting firm and have applied to both university and AAT apprenticeships. Apprenticeships are my first choice.

Sort of. If you want to remain in public practice it doesn’t really matter but if you want to move to industry the graduate route would generally be better as a lot of newly qualified accountant jobs now ask for a degree. Personally I wouldn’t advise an AAT apprenticeship - often you’ll still be recruiting into apprentice jobs for ACA even with AAT but there are many ACA apprenticeships around. If you do an AAT apprenticeship try to make sure you get one with the ACA as a follow on.
