Application Deadline: 9 October 2026

Employment Type: Full Time

Location: Dublin

Description

The BDO Risk Advisory Services Graduate Programme offers graduates the opportunity to learn how businesses really work. You will be exposed to different organisations, industries and business challenges, which will help you develop the analytical, commercial and interpersonal skills that underpin a successful career in professional services.

You will not be confined to one narrow area, but instead will learn to understand organisations from the inside. You’ll see what they are trying to achieve, what could prevent them, and how governance, risk management and controls play their part.

As part of the Risk Advisory Services (“RAS”) team, you will work with a variety of clients across different industries, helping them identify risks, improve processes, enhance controls, and meet regulatory requirements. You will be involved in internal audits, compliance reviews, cyber security assessments, and IT audits, giving you a broad understanding of how organisations manage risk in today's evolving business environment.

Working alongside experienced professionals, you will develop strong problem-solving and client relationship skills. The RAS programme provides a strong foundation for a wide range of future opportunities. From a very early stage, you will work directly with clients, taking responsibility for meaningful work. As you progress we will support you in achieving professional qualifications and over time to identify the areas in which you want to specialise.
