Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
5/5
Day-to-day I have specific areas I am allocated to in my team and have multiple on going tasks, so there is always something to do. I also have regular contact with the audited entity and talk to them regarding information I need for my work. If I have exams I revise for these in the evenings after work as well.
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
5/5
I really enjoy my job the work suits me and help is always available. The office is very friendly and we all have lunch together. There are also quite a few socials throughout the year so we have a nice group. It can get a bit busy with working and studying however there is lots of support available.

Recommendations & Advice
Would you recommend KPMG to a friend?
Yes
Why?
Yes 100% it has been the best choice for me. Every single person at KPMG is so lovely and there is a real community and supportive feel. We have a very well structured day to day which I think is very beneficial. Also, since it is one of the Big 4 we gain hands on experience and advice from the best of the best which is hard to get anywhere else.
What tips or advice would you give to others applying to KPMG?
Learn the company and their values. Also look at the area you are applying for and look at trends or changes that may be coming into that area of work and how this will impact KPMG.
