Talks delivered at top universities and schools across the UK and internationally

What the job actually is

Accountancy, audit and consulting firms help businesses check their numbers, manage risk and fix problems. Structured, client-facing and professionally qualified.

How you get in

Some of the largest school leaver and degree apprenticeship programmes in the UK, plus graduate schemes. The programmes close earliest, so the applications come first.

What firms look for, and how you build it

  • A clear answer to 'why this firm?', evidenced by what you have read and done.
  • Strong written applications - professional services screens on them first.
  • An understanding of how the practice you are applying to actually makes money.
  • Early applications: the largest programmes close first, and are gone for that cycle.
