We're BDO. An accountancy and business advisory firm, providing the advice and solutions businesses need to navigate today's changing world.

We'll broaden your horizons

The work of our Audit teams is essential, not just to BDO, but to the whole economy. Working within a range of companies, from start-ups to FTSE350 companies, in multiple sectors, they verify the accuracy of our clients' financial statements for stakeholders, ensuring the stability and authenticity of the financial market. It's not just analysing numbers though; Audit teams really get to know their clients. That means you'll spend every day working as part of a team, often on clients' premises, working with key individuals to understand their financial performance, business systems, culture and risks. The graduate programme offers unparalleled exposure to a range of sectors and the potential for international secondment.

We'll help you succeed

The three-year Audit and Assurance Graduate Programme is your opportunity to learn our sector inside out, get real experience on real projects and achieve a recognised professional qualification. We'll cover your exam fees and give you the study leave and extra training you'll need to pass them while you balance your own workload. That training isn't just about passing the exams, you'll learn a range of personal, management and client-related skills that will help you become a full rounded BDO advisor and achieve your full potential. As part of that, you'll:

  • Study towards your professional qualification either (depending on specialism/location)
    • Association of Chartered Accountants (ACA) and Level 7 Apprenticeship via the Institute of Chartered Accountants England and Wales (ICAEW)
    • Institute of Chartered Accountants Scotland (ICAS) qualification
    • Certified Information System Auditor (CISA) qualification, via the Information Systems Audit and Control Association (ISACA)
  • Be assigned an Apprenticeship Coach from your training provider and a Buddy to personally mentor you
  • Have access to specialist support for your professional exams
  • Be given real professional responsibility that will help you grow
  • Enjoy a supportive culture where colleagues are invested in your career
When you join us, we'll make your growth our priority. If you're right for us, you'll thrive in an environment built to help you succeed. We're looking for someone with:
  • A 2:2 degree in any discipline (obtained or predicted)
  • Three A-levels or equivalent at A*-C excluding General Studies and Extended Projects (obtained or predicted)
  • 9-4 in Maths and English at GCSE/Scottish Standards or equivalent (non-UK qualifications also considered)
  • Ability and commitment to balance study and professional work
  • Strong desire to understand our business and achieve your full potential
We understand that everyone learns in different ways and the same environment isn't always suited to every task. We'll help you deliver the best quality output by giving you choice and flexibility around how, when and where you work. When you need to work collaboratively, you'll be able to work closely with colleagues, whether that's in our offices, onsite with clients, or one of our brand-new hubs; when you need to focus, you'll be able to work from home or in one of our quiet concentration spaces, using technology to stay connected with colleagues. We'll provide the environment, digital tools and training to enable you to perform at your best, whatever the task in hand, for yourself, your team, and your clients.

We're in it together

We're looking forward to the future

At BDO, we're big enough to make the difference and collaborative enough to never lose sight of where we're going. We know that it's our people that make our success possible. We have over 5000 people working across our 17 UK locations providing tax, audit, assurance and a range of advisory services that help our clients achieve their ambitious goals. Together, they're fuelling Britain's economic engine. Behind every complex client challenge and every untapped innovation, they're there: ensuring we continue to find the right combination of global reach, integrity and expertise. That's why we're always looking for ways to invest in our people. That means providing them with an environment where they can grow, learn, laugh and feel respected, at all times.

Our firm is distinctive and we want to preserve and build on the strengths of our culture and the characteristics that make us both successful and different. We look for people from all kinds of backgrounds who share these same qualities.
