Who we are
We help organisations the world over measure their financial performance and improve the way they work. Our clients range from public and private companies to governments and charities. And we’re ambitious to grow both our traditional areas of strength and those we’re fast expanding into. If you’re serious about a career in business, we don’t believe anyone else could give you a better start. And we’re proud to say that students agree, voting us number one in The Times Top 100 Graduate Employers survey for the last six years in a row.
Public Services
In the public sector, perhaps more than anywhere, we’re committed to helping clients achieve value for money. We know the work we do can lead to better delivery of public services, greater efficiencies, improved performance and fewer risks. And, as a member of the team, you’ll see the evidence of your work in the public arena, reported in the papers and broadcast on the news. Our services are as varied as the clients themselves – ranging from external and internal audit to compliance work, and from risk management to value-for-money reviews. We also publish newsletters and articles, and offer tailored advice and training to clients to keep them up to speed with the latest developments in accounting and corporate governance.
Your training and development:
Our people make us stand out as a firm. So we choose the best and invest heavily in them. Our exceptional level of encouragement, opportunity and support includes:
- Our graduate training programme helps you gain breadth as well as depth of knowledge and build a portfolio of valuable, transferable skills.
- Support to gain a professional qualification – usually the ACA but this varies considerably by business area.
- Increased responsibility as soon as you qualify, plus a pay rise to go with it.
- Movement throughout the firm – you’ll work in different teams and offices, experience different clients and projects; try out new roles and even sample other business areas. It will all help you develop along a path that fits your goals as well as the ever-changing needs of our business.
