Why KPMG?
At KPMG, our values define who we are and the way we do business.

As a leading professional services firm, we know that our strength and capability come from our people - their different perspectives, experiences and backgrounds.

From our inclusive leadership strategy to our diversity and inclusion targets - we're making bold changes to who we are and what we do.

We recognise that as individuals, we each have particular needs and that one size doesn't fit all when it comes to how, when and where you work.

That is why we are proud to offer our colleagues agile working options.

We believe in putting you at the centre of your career - KPMG will offer the training, development and stimulating work environment to help you get to where your career ambitions are.

That is why we introduced 'Our Deal' - it's our way of saying 'thank you' for bringing your best to work.

As part of 'Our Deal', you will benefit from a range of rewards from secondment opportunities and preferential banking services to a day off on your birthday and have open, honest conversations about your career development.
