ABOUT THIS EMPLOYER

 

Following the merger of member firms, KPMG Europe LLP is now officially the largest fully-integrated accountancy firm in Europe. Which really is a pretty good claim to fame when you think about it?

Our firms' clients span the whole continent, our offices reach across four countries and our partners and staff number over 23,000. So it's fair to say that we're a huge organisation. Plus, with a combined revenue approaching €4.1 billion in 2007, it's clear that we're a successful one too.

Our strength is allowing us to do even more for our clients and colleagues alike. We're providing leading services across audit, tax and advisory - handling work for major corporations, government departments, even football clubs and charities. And this variety offers even greater career prospects for our dedicated staff.

If you join our team, you'll benefit from professional training, excellent career development, and plenty of challenges. KPMG in the UK has an excellent track record in exam results across ICAEW, ACCA and CIPFA - which speaks volumes about the calibre of our people and the extensive support we give them.

CASE STUDIES FROM THIS EMPLOYER

 
Chetan Sharma

Chetan Sharma - Audit Department - KPMG

My role involves going to a client’s site and helping the audit team to validate the information provided in the financial statements, and ensure the information is reliable. This is done by liaising with various departments within a firm, such as the sales team or finance team, and performing certain audit tests so that I can be comfortable that the information stated in the company’s financial statements is accurate.

Louise-Cullen

Louise Cullen - Audit Assistant - KPMG

I am on the ICAEW training scheme and training to become a chartered accountant. I spend one third of my year at college and the other two- thirds on audit engagement. I work mainly with investment banking clients. A typical day could involve meeting clients and discussing their business, process and controls. I also carry out audit tests, and write up documentation and reports. Quite a lot of my time is spent engaging with clients.

Aveek-Ghosh

Aveek Ghosh - Audit Assistant - KPMG

As an auditor, my job involves testing and investigating underlying records that constitute the statutory accounts for a company. I go to different companies, and gather information that is deemed necessary for my audit procedures.

Christina-Bohm---KPMG---Business-foundation-progra

Christina Bohm - KPMG - Business foundation programme trainee

I really enjoy the fact that I get to move around, because I love learning new things. Within CSR I enjoy the creativity of picking up new ideas and seeing what can we do with them. Seeing projects through from the initial concept to implementing new programmes is very satisfying.
