Job description

Help organisations operate with integrity, transparency and confidence. Our teams play a critical role in ensuring financial information is accurate, risks are understood, systems are robust and organisations can make informed decisions. You might be reviewing financial statements, analysing controls, assessing risks, supporting major transactions or helping CFOs navigate regulatory change. If you enjoy analytical thinking, attention to detail and understanding how businesses really work, this pathway offers challenge, variety and real impact.

About rolling intake:

We run two rounds of recruitment: main intake (now closed) and rolling intake. We aim to fill as many of our roles as possible through the main intake but, of course, things change and new roles come up. Applying to the rolling intake means your application will be reviewed as a suitable role comes up (and it does happen!).

This pathway would suit graduates from:

• Accounting
• Actuarial Studies
• Finance
• Commerce
• Economics
• Data or technology‑related disciplines (e.g., Data Engineering)

The Work

Depending on your team, your work could include:

• Analysing financial statements and testing internal controls
• Supporting external audits to help clients meet regulatory and reporting requirements
• Using data and technology to identify patterns, anomalies or risks
• Assisting with due diligence on major transactions
• Reviewing sustainability, financial or operational risks
• Preparing insights and recommendations that help organisations improve systems, processes and performance

You’ll gain broad exposure across different industries, seeing how organisations operate from the inside out while building strong technical and analytical capability.
