But numbers are only the beginning.

You can find more information about each area of Consulting here.

What You Could Be Doing

You’ll spend five days a week in the office or with clients because that's where real consulting happens, working with experienced colleagues who'll support you, challenge you, and help you build confidence as you go.

Most importantly, you'll discover what kind of work motivates you. You won't be expected to specialise too early. Instead, you'll experience different clients, sectors, and challenges, giving you the opportunity to find what genuinely interests you.

By the end of your placement, you'll leave with confidence, new skills, and a much clearer picture of where your career could take you.

Depending On Which Solution You Join, You Could Be

• Preparing statutory financial statements and supporting financial reporting and compliance activities.
• Turning financial information into meaningful insight that helps clients make confident decisions.
• Meeting people at every level of an organisation, from frontline teams to senior leadership.
• Conducting interviews, reviewing documents, analysing data, and testing how organisations manage risk.
• Taking part in the full audit and assurance lifecycle, from planning through to report writing and presenting findings.
• Delivering practical recommendations that help organisations strengthen the way they work.

What We Are Looking For

You don't need to know exactly where your career is heading. That's one of the reasons placements are great; it gives you the chance to test drive your skills. We're looking for people who are curious, ready to learn, enjoy solving problems, and like working with others.

The best way to understand consulting isn't to read about it. It's to experience it.

If you're looking for a placement where you'll contribute, keep learning, and leave with a much clearer idea of where your future could take you, we'd love to hear from you.
