We're KPMG in the UK
Part of a global organisation of independent firms that offers Audit, Tax, Consulting, and Technology services. More than 16,000 colleagues working together to make the difference for businesses, people, and communities.
What is Audit at KPMG?
Audit is the largest of our UK practices and gives us the opportunity to work with some of the world’s biggest organisations. We provide insight, challenge, and expertise, helping ensure published accounts give a true and fair picture of an organisation’s financial position.
It’s work that makes a meaningful difference to businesses, investors, and the wider community. If you enjoy understanding how organisations operate and solving problems, Audit could be a great fit for you.
Audit Graduate Programme
From day one, you’ll work on varied and complex engagements, learning about a wide range of business activities. You’ll see the audit process from different perspectives and build technical, commercial, and professional skills that will stay with you throughout your career.
You’ll play a direct role in critically assessing information provided by organisations, supported by senior leaders, peers, and the wider Audit community. You’ll bring integrity, professional scepticism, objectivity, independence, and a strong ethical foundation to your work.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.

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. See the specific programme page on our Careers Portal for entry requirements and our ‘Applying to KPMG’ section for detailed application guidance.
