BDO is the UK Member Firm of BDO International, the world's fifth largest accountancy network with more than 1,000 offices (including exclusive alliances of BDO Member Firms) in over 100 countries. They specialise in helping businesses, whether start-ups, mid-tiers or multi-nationals, to achieve their goals. Their objective is to help their clients maximise their potential.
They have their own very special culture. One that people enjoy working in, no matter what their background, age, sex or ethnicity. They want individuals who are bright and creative — who place importance on living their values. They also care about sustainability. This is why they have developed a strong corporate social responsibility programme that encourages graduates to give something back to the community, by volunteering and considering their impact on the environment.
Their strength in the market place is mirrored in their recent awards which include Accountancy Age 'Audit Team of the Year 2008', 'Tax Team of the Year 2008', 'Corporate Finance Deal of the Year 2008' and listed as one of the UK's top employers in 'The Sunday Times Top 100 Best Companies to Work For 2008', and the 'Financial Times Best Workplaces Awards 2008'.
At BDO, every day prepares graduates for the next. Graduates will attend external tutor firms for their professional training, but BDO will make sure they have all the study and revision time they need, as well as in-house support and extra tuition if they want it. Their results are excellent.
In addition to an excellent technical knowledge and know-how programme, BDO have designed leadership and management development skills programmes and solutions which are designed to help graduates widen their perspective.
