What does this team do?

Audit has a really important role in society, helping to protect the public interest. Accurate financial and corporate reporting is essential for businesses. It means that we are able to hold companies to account, maintain financial stability in the country and protect the consumers who rely on those businesses.

Our team provides independent auditor reports, looking at both the truth and fairness of organisations’ annual financial statements.

We want everyone who joins to feel good about this role, and, as a well-known audit firm, it’s important for us to achieve excellence in the quality of our audit work.

The landscape for audit reporting is changing fast and our work continues to evolve. More and more, we’re using intelligent machines to automate and standardise processes, so focus can go on delivering a great product for our businesses. A role that enables you to enjoy real responsibility early in your career.

Our offices in Jersey, Guernsey and the Isle of Man offer something unique; the opportunity to work for a Big Four firm whilst living in a beautiful island setting. Each island has a distinctive atmosphere with vibrant communities and a wide variety of outdoor pursuits on offer. Working in the islands presents the career opportunities found in large cities but with the benefit of short commutes and being able to take full advantage of the temperate climate as well as proximity to the sea, beautiful landscapes and nature.

Our offices may be smaller than some (c.200 colleagues across the three islands) but this doesn’t mean our clients are. The Channel Islands and Isle of Man are home to diverse and thriving financial markets giving you the opportunity to work with high profile, prestigious clients.

We work with organisations of all sizes; from rapidly growing local companies to international private equity and real estate businesses with a global reach. Our broad range of clients means that no day in our Islands’ Audit practice is ever the same.

Our close-knit office community encourages plenty of hands-on experience and the chance to work closely with senior colleagues who invest in your development and career progression from day one.

What skills and academic qualifications do I need?

You’ll need to have obtained or be studying towards a minimum 2:1 in any degree discipline and have graduated by September 2026 for the Autumn 2026 intake.

What kind of work will I do?

You’ll have the chance to work directly with major organisations, building your skills through our excellent training programme, and delivering quality services that make a real difference to our society.

Early on in your career you’ll be given responsibility for developing people and managing teams, supported by us every step of the way. You’ll have the opportunity to think creatively and work together to solve problems. You’ll get involved with different organisations, helping you to understand how they operate and learning about the economic and industry issues that matter to them.

Our Audit business has two core areas:

• Large & Complex Audit: includes listed companies (corporate and financial services) their subsidiaries in the UK and internationally, as well as other public interest companies such as banks, insurers, large private companies, and public sector organisations.
• Portfolio Audit: sectors including private corporates, real estate funds, pension schemes, financial services brokers and investment managers. Portfolio business offers the opportunity to work with privately-owned, dynamic, entrepreneurial and high growth businesses.

The work we do is wide-ranging, and no two days are ever the same. Working alongside some of the most talented professionals, you’ll learn to understand corporate language, and assess business processes, systems, controls and reports. This enables organisations across every sector to be transparent about what they do, build stronger systems of quality control, increase their capability to manage risk and, most crucially, increase public confidence.

Soft skills

To support you, we invest heavily in both your technical skills and soft skills (e.g. communication skills, ability to challenge, decision-making, resilience, project management and leadership skills). This includes building the skills and knowledge required to help you use developing technology such as AI to maximise your potential. These will help you to become a successful business professional and allow you to navigate different situations that you’ll encounter during your career.

Qualifications

As part of your graduate opportunity, you’ll be studying towards either the ACA or ACCA qualification. Both qualifications are globally recognised and are designed to expand your knowledge of a wide range of technical topic areas. They’ll help you confidently work on projects and initiatives, and develop professionally throughout your training.

Whilst professional exams can be challenging, and will require a commitment from you, we in turn commit to providing you with the right support network to help you succeed. You’ll be given funded top-quality tuition, with a mix of classroom and self-managed learning sessions, a dedicated early careers coach, a People Leader and access to support from our professional education team.

Our internal support network will guide you through your qualification, provide pastoral support and sign off your training files. Your exam manager will have specific responsibilities such as managing course and exam enrolments for you.

We will cover the cost of all mandated courses, permitted exam attempts and membership fees required for your professional qualification. We will also provide a specified amount of paid study leave to enable you to prepare for the exams required.
