At KPMG, the people make the place. The fact that they have voted them The Sunday Times ‘Best Big Company to Work For’ two years in a row speaks for itself. A fact that shows KPMG has created a place where everyone feels valued.

What’s more, the firm is growing. Since a number of European firms merged to form KPMG Europe LLP, we have become the largest fully-integrated accountancy firm in Europe, offering Audit, Tax and Advisory services to everyone from oil companies to music gurus.

But it’s not just what we do that’s important. It’s the way that we do it. Our values don’t just live on a wall. They’re a way of life, underpinning the way we work with clients and with each other.

So what can graduates look forward to at KPMG? Exposure to clients from day one. Working on challenging projects. And if you’re studying for a professional qualification, there’s a fantastic support network that includes a mentor and generous study leave.

Despite the focus on qualifications, it’s not all work and no play. From flexible working and CSR days to sabbatical opportunities and free lunches, as The Sunday Times awards show, KPMG is a great place to start your career.

We’d like to hear from graduates with at least a 2:1 degree in any discipline. And, once you’ve applied, you can expect a response on the next working day.

Our Graduate Programmes

Audit

The fact is, all companies need audit services. So what exactly do we do for them? In short, we work with everyone from Liverpool FC through to Channel 4, giving our view on whether their accounts are a ‘true and fair’ reflection of reality. To get this right, we need to grasp a thorough understanding of a client’s business.

That’s why you’ll get to spend lots of your time out of the office at client sites. Working with their staff to see what makes the organisation tick, you’ll gain a thorough understanding of different markets, businesses and business practices – as well as a professional qualification.

Tax

At KPMG, Tax is a fast moving, exciting area of our business. Tax legislation is continually evolving, and open to interpretation and negotiation - so our advisors spend their time helping clients stay up-to-date with it all. One day you could be out at a meeting with a client such as French Connection or AG Barr (makers of “Scotland’s other national drink”, Irn-Bru). Then the next, back in the office raising bills to go out to other companies we work with.

Whether preparing presentations for meetings, producing proposals for pieces of work, or carrying out risk checks on clients, a role in Tax will give you all the technical skills, qualifications and commercial insight you need to be successful.

Advisory

Our Advisory team has never been more in demand. Working with everyone from governmental organisations through to FTSE 100 companies, you’ll offer clients the expertise to deal with anything from mergers and acquisitions, to IT systems, pensions, regulation or disputes.

Working in advisory will allow you to develop extensive business skills. What’s more, many of the specialist areas you could be working in also offer professional training too.
