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.
