Supercharge your career through our Audit Industrial Placement

Get started on real client projects from day one! Partake in a unique experience that balances world-class audit education with technological know-how. Work alongside a huge range of unique and inquisitive minds as you prepare the world of Audit for the digital takeover. Embark on a career journey you can own and shape with confidence.

As a member of our team, you’ll experience the EY digital audit. And you’ll get hands-on face-to-face exposure to big clients and the unique challenges they face. We’re the only firm that gives you this kind of tech-first, client-facing approach to audit – and at such a global scale. This is your opportunity to give businesses, from start-ups to governments, confidence in how they manage their accounts. One day, you could be on site with a client, building key relationships, the next, you could be crafting long-lasting business strategies. It’s a dynamic programme that prepares you for your future. And enables you to sit at the very cutting edge of business – helping us build a better world as you build a varied career.

This one-year programme allows you to gain hands-on paid work as you kick-start your study towards becoming a Chartered Accountant.

As an Audit Industrial Placement student, you will:

• Get to know our clients, their businesses and how they work.
• Test checks and balances to ensure they work how they’re supposed to.
• Analyse the data that goes into a financial statement to make sure it is true and fair.
• Help businesses publish reliable financial accounts as you lay the foundations for your career.
• Use hybrid working to spend time on client sites, in the office and at home
• Have a dedicated careers counsellor throughout the programme to help you during busier seasons, development and learning

You’ll be learning on-the-job and will be given access to regular training opportunities. Plus, your experience doesn't stop once you've completed the programme - you may be offered a place on the Audit Graduate Programme to continue your career development.
