KPMG
At KPMG, the people make the place. And
what's that place like exactly? In short, it's
one where everyone feels valued, and hard
work is recognised and rewarded.
It's also a place that's growing. Since a
number of European firms merged to form
KPMG Europe LLP, they 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 KPMG does that's
important. It's the way that we do it. The
values don't just live on a wall. They're a way
of life, underpinning the way KPMG works
with clients and with each other.
So what can you 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. Whether it's
joining societies and sports teams or
enjoying volunteering days, free lunches
and secondment opportunities, KPMG is
a fantastic place to start developing your
technical and personal skills.
At KPMG, we pride ourselves on being
experts across Audit, Tax and Advisory. For
clients, it means we can provide exceptional
service. And for you, it means we're able
to offer exciting graduate opportunities that
all come 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 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 allow you to develop your technical
skills, gain two professional qualifications
and increase your commercial awareness.
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 within our Advisory team you will
develop extensive business skills. What's
more, many of these specialist areas also
offer professional training too.
