KPMG

About us

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, we have become the largest fully-integrated accountancy firm in Europe, offering Audit, Tax and Consulting 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.

Our people come to us from all kinds of backgrounds and degree courses. We wouldn’t want it any other way. And that’s why we’ve always been very open-minded about the type of graduates we recruit. You may have a 2:1 in Maths or a 2:1 in Philosophy. Whatever your subject, you’re welcome at KPMG. The thing that’s most important to us is that you’re as keen and motivated as we are.

Our opportunities

We have graduate opportunities across Audit, Tax and Pensions, and Consultancy, as well as a range of Vacation Programmes, including Placements, Internships and Gap Year Programmes.

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. As well as offering the highest level of support backed by the most senior people in our business, you’ll find we use a variety of training methods too, including a full suite of e-learning products. These allow you to study at your own pace and enjoy the flexibility to take real ownership of your studies.

We also spread your exams over the full three years of your training agreement. This means you won’t be studying constantly, allowing you time to gain valuable, relevant work experience before you attempt the final, most technically challenging exams. We also have the largest, dedicated, full-time professional qualification training team of the Big 4, and you’ll quickly discover that everything we do is intended to help you fulfil your potential and get you through your exams first time. This all adds up to market leading pass rates.

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.

We think KPMG is a great place to start your career, and we’re sure you will too.
