Job Description & Summary

Our purpose focuses on how we contribute to society, and how our business decisions can contribute to greater trust and solving important problems. To achieve our purpose and deliver a first-class service to our clients, we need first-class people.

The role

You will be working and collaborating as an audit team member building strong working relationships whilst developing your knowledge of the audit process.As your confidence grows so will your project management skills as you work to meet client and regulatory deadlines.

Work in Audit

In audit, we get to the heart of businesses providing decision makers with information they can trust and give investors confidence. In this evolving environment, audit offers you a diverse career working with wide-ranging businesses and industries. This provides the opportunity to develop broad business skills.

You’ll have hands-on work straightaway. It's investigative work where you’ll regularly speak with key contacts such as financial controllers or finance directors, checking and analysing data and highlighting and questioning any inaccuracies and you’ll need to be tenacious and resilient to do it well. As finance is at the centre of every organisation, you'll learn constantly about how different businesses operate. You'll be reviewing records and also help to put together reports on the controls and processes you have seen at our clients covering a wide range of audit areas including purchases and expenses, revenue and receivables along with cash and investments. If you’re an individual with intellectual agility, drive and resilience, you will most likely excel in our business.

The more experience you get, the more responsibility you’ll take on.
