First Intuition is a United Kingdom based provider of accountancy training. It was founded in 2007 and is a partnership run by the five founders. First Intuition works on the principle of smaller class sizes, capping all classes at 30,[1] a unique feature not seen at any other accountancy training provider.

First Intuition's most notable achievement to date is becoming the youngest business ever to win the Accountancy College of the year award 4 times, in six year, 2010 awarded to London, 2012 awarded to Cambridge, 2014 awarded to Bristol and 2016 awarded to London.[2]

Since the opening of London in 2007, First Intuition has expanded to 6 regional training centres nationally in London, Cambridge, Reading, Bristol, Maidstone and Manchester. As well as this First Intuition has now opened internationally in Spain, Azerbaijan, China and Pakistan.
