Contacts
Many firms do accept work experience. Do you know anyone working in practice? Are you at college or school and do they have any contacts? If not the ringing round should work.
Commerce too
You could also try commercial companies, and the public sector too. For companies, try ringing your local chamber of commerce. For the public sector, try your local coucil or NHS trust - speak to the personnel department. Or you could speak to your local councillor.
When I had my practice, I used to accept student placements from local schools, so careers or business studies teachers could be worth asking.
For the profession, try the local office of the various institutes.
Phone around

When I was looking for similar work when I first started out in accountancy I found that the best way to get work experience was to get out the yellow pages and ring round everyone listed in the area!
Good luck.
