KPMG in the UK is one of the leading firms of business advisers, as well as one of the leading employers of graduates. We provide a huge variety of clients with audit, tax and advisory services that are based on deep industry knowledge. For our people, we aim to create a rewarding and challenging environment where everyone can fulfil their true potential.

We are also one of the leading employers of graduates, providing a range of challenging and high-quality career opportunities to ambitious people from every academic discipline.

A number of high-profile awards have recognised KPMG in the UK’s success as an employer, a service provider and a member of the wider community. We have recently been named one of the top three ‘Best big companies to work for’ by The Sunday Times for the third year in a row, and we have also been voted ‘Employer of the Year’ by Accountancy Age. The CBI named us ‘Big Four Auditor of the Year’ for the third year running, while our commitment to excellence in CSR activities resulted in us being awarded the maximum three ‘Big Ticks’ by Business in the Community.

Just as importantly, we also maintained our track record of consistently exceeding national institutes’ average pass rates in ICAEW, ACCA and CIPFA professional exams – a testament, we believe, to both the high-calibre people we recruit and the extensive support we provide at every stage.

The skills, knowledge and capabilities of our people are absolutely central to the success of KPMG and so we invest significant amounts of money, time and energy in developing our people and offering them fantastic opportunities to be personally stretched and challenged. Yes, it's a big investment; but the business case is indisputable. If we are to continue our success and maintain our reputation in the marketplace, our people must have outstanding skills.

We believe we have developed one of the strongest learning and development packages you will find anywhere, a powerful combination of technical training, coaching and mentoring, skill building programmes, industry secondments and recognition to celebrate key milestones, like becoming a new manager. Each KPMG member firm has its own range of national training and development programmes. This is complemented by our global network's learning and development initiative, Compass.

Whatever level you join KPMG at, you can be sure of our superb learning and development opportunities; from graduate inductions, to our programme for future leaders of the firm. And as you pursue your goals, you can monitor your progress and obtain regular feedback with 'Dialogue', our global network's performance management system. It all adds up to the support you need to feel challenged and inspired at every stage of your career; whether you're a graduate trainee, a new manager or a senior manager looking to become a partner.
