We offer a competitive salary and a host of great benefits too.

Our firm’s hybrid working model balances the flexibility of working from home with the importance of collaborating and learning in our offices or at the sites of the organisations we audit. We trust our people to be where they need to be, with our colleagues working together in person as often as needed. Some travel is likely for audit work, and because its seasonal, you should expect there to be busy times of the year.

Seeing the whole picture As part of the Audit team, you will be building friendships and shared experiences, innovating, and learning together.

KPMG is a place where you can be yourself and give your best - whoever you are and whatever your background.

We look at more than just your academic results and will also consider your strengths, values and motivations. If you’re collaborative and good with people, that can be just as important as your ability to pick up key technical skills.
