Straight Talking from KPMG

At KPMG, we pride ourselves on being experts across Audit, Tax and Pensions, and Advisory. For clients, it means we can provide exceptional service. And for you, it means we’re able to offer exciting graduate opportunities with great training, support and guidance. 

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 people to see what makes their organisation tick, you’ll gain a thorough understanding of different markets, businesses and business practices – as well as a professional qualification.

Tax and Pensions

At KPMG, Tax and Pensions is a fast moving, exciting area of our business. 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. Alternatively, you might be advising clients on their pensions’ strategy in areas such as design and cost/risk management.

Whether preparing presentations for meetings, producing proposals for pieces of work, or carrying out risk checks on clients, a role in Tax and Pensions will allow you to develop your all technical skills, gain professional qualifications and increase your commercial awareness.

Advisory 

Our Advisory teams have never been more in demand. The focus of everything we do is to help add lasting value to, and achieve dramatic improvements in, our clients’ performance. Working with everyone from government 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 within our Advisory team you will develop extensive business skills. What’s more, many of these specialist areas also offer professional training too.
