Description
A Bit About Us
Big enough to matter. Personal enough to care. That’s BDO.
Want to help solve complex challenges, support transparency and enable decisions that shape businesses and lives? Welcome to the Audit Graduate Programme at BDO.
The programme starts on Monday, 21st September 2026 for a firm-wide induction (you’ll need to be able to attend).
Audit at BDO means variety, challenge and impact. You’ll be part of a team delivering high-quality reporting that supports key decisions and makes a real difference to the economy. And you won’t do it alone – you’ll work alongside experienced professionals who value learning, teamwork, and pride in getting it right. The trainee program will be designed to recognise skills and capabilities required for a career in technology enabled audit. It enables trainees to gain a foundation knowledge in business, finance and accounting through the attainment of the ICAEW CFAB and CISA qualifications.
Here, your career starts with work that matters. You’ll celebrate wins, learn through practical day-to-day experience, and gain a deep understanding of how businesses work from the inside out.
A Bit About Audit
Over three years, you’ll gain hands-on experience across a wide range of clients and sectors. You’ll work on audits that shape critical business decisions, all while studying towards a globally recognised ACA, CFAB or ICAS qualification. With the support of in-house experts, you’ll build technical, commercial and leadership skills that go far beyond the classroom.
This is a programme designed to launch a career with long-term progression. Many of our graduates go on to specialise, lead teams, and shape strategy within the firm. What you do here will open doors you might not have considered and set you up for a career that goes beyond the ordinary. When you complete the programme, there’s a permanent role waiting for you.
