BDO

BDO is a UK Member Firm of BDO International, the world’s fifth largest accountancy network with more than 1,000 offices in over 100 countries*. We specialise in helping businesses, whether start-ups, mid-tiers or multinationals, to achieve their goals.

We have our own very special culture. One that people enjoy working in, no matter what their background, age, sex or ethnicity. We want individuals who are bright and creative – who place importance on living our values. Who appreciate and respect people – whoever they are and wherever they come from.

We also care about sustainability. This is why we have developed a strong corporate social responsibility programme that encourages you to ‘give something back’ to the community, by volunteering and considering your impact on the environment.

Our strength in the market place is mirrored in our recent awards which include Accountancy Age ‘Audit Team of the Year 2008’, ‘Tax Team of the Year 2008’, ‘Corporate Finance Deal of the Year 2008’ and listed as one of the UK’s top employers in ‘The Sunday Times Top 100 Best Companies to Work For 2008’, and the ‘Financial Times Best Workplaces Awards 2008’. In 2009 we were awarded the highest new entry in the ‘The Times Top 100 Graduate Employer’ listing.

*Including exclusive alliances of BDO Member Firms.

At BDO, every day prepares you for the next. We try to make training as flexible and appropriate as we can for all trainees. And we believe there is no substitute for first-hand experience. You will attend external tutor firms for your professional training, but we make sure you have all the study and revision time you need, as well as in-house support and extra tuition if you want it. Our results are excellent. Most of our graduates study for the ACA, awarded by the Institute of Chartered Accountants for England and Wales, but there are other routes to professional qualification, depending on the business stream you join.

Career Development

In addition to an excellent technical knowledge and know-how programme, to demonstrate our commitment we have designed leadership and management development skills programmes and solutions which are designed to help you ‘widen your perspective’.

• Opportunities to work on client projects with partners and staff in other business areas
• Secondments or transfers to other departments
• Client secondments
