How is it structured?
Our graduates enjoy a flexible yet coherent learning experience from the get-go. Develop strong interpersonal skills, the ability to flex your style, an understanding of complex business data requirements and your ability to build analytical models. All while you work towards your Chartered Institute of Management Accountants (CIMA) Certificate in Business Accounting.
We’ll introduce you to the technology, tools and solutions we use to support our clients' finance transformation journeys (e.g., Oracle, Anaplan). This will familiarise you with specific technologies and provide a foundation to develop your skills further.
The graduate programme lasts two years and will provide you with a variety of experiences and learning opportunities to support your career and personal development. Gain first-hand experience from client delivery as well as developing new business propositions and building marketing material. Work across a range of existing and emerging technologies and drive innovation across Financial Services. And even travel across the UK and internationally for your clients.
By the time you finish the programme, you can expect to be well on your way to becoming a Senior Consultant in Finance Consulting, with the opportunity to build a speciality in your preferred area.
Alongside our programme offering, we give you all the training and exposure to real-world work you could want. We also offer company-wide and programme-specific rewards that make all the hard work worthwhile. These include wellbeing initiatives, a free tech MBA, healthcare support, a pension scheme and more.
