Hi,
While the ACA is a requirement for some aspects of TAS (including Transaction Diligence for example), and graduates therefore study towards it, most areas of TAS will only recruit internally from the level of Senior Associate (i.e. once you're about 3 years into the job and have completed your qualification). There may be exceptions based on business need but this is the general approach.
I hope that helps and good luck with your qualification.

Thank you for your reply, Rachel! Could you please clarify which TAS divisions would possibly allow to continue with the ACA qualifications? After checking the programs online, I only noticed ICAS or CFAB qualifications.

Sure - currently the only division that requires a chartered accountancy qualification is the Transaction Diligence team (focusing on financial diligence). Currently graduates in this team study through ICAS rather than ICAEW, but if needed continuing with ICAEW shouldn't be an issue (as this is the qualification a number of the team have). That said, transfers from Audit generally happen post-qualification.
