We’re BDO. An accountancy and business advisory firm, providing the advice and solutions entrepreneurial organisations need to navigate today’s changing world.

We work with the companies that are Britain’s economic engine – ambitious, entrepreneurially-spirited and high‑growth businesses that fuel the economy – and directly advise the owners and management teams leading them.

We’ll broaden your horizons

Our Shared Service Centre team (SSC) provides essential support to a number of teams across our firm. As well as assisting on large-scale operations, beyond the capacity of a core specialist team, they provide the unparalleled expertise we need to keep moving forward. As part of this friendly department, you’ll have the chance to work on exciting projects and develop your skillset. There’s real opportunity, making it a great chance to use industry knowledge and experience to solve problems in your next career step, or it can be a place to learn if you’re just starting out. If you want to work on important projects and explore your potential, we’ll give you the friendly, supportive working environment to go far.

We’ll help you succeed

Leading organisations trust us because of the quality of our advice. That quality grows from a thorough understanding of their business, and that understanding comes from working closely with them and building long-lasting relationships.

You’ll be someone who is both comfortable working proactively and managing your own tasks, as well as confident collaborating with others and communicating regularly with senior managers, directors, and BDO’s partners to help businesses effectively. You’ll be encouraged to identify and draw attention to opportunities for enhancing our delivery and providing additional services to organisations we work with.

• Innovative - You possess a proactive mindset, constantly seeking opportunities for improvement and innovation within quality and risk processes. Your creative problem-solving skills enable you to think outside the box and propose novel solutions to complex challenges.

• Technically Proficient - While familiarity with quality and risk tools and methodology is advantageous, you are tech-savvy and comfortable with learning new software and technologies to enhance quality and risk management capabilities.

• Committed to Growth - You have a strong eagerness to learn and a desire to expand your knowledge and skills in quality assurance and risk management.

• Organisational Expert - You excel in effective time management, prioritising tasks and managing time efficiently to meet deadlines and support multiple functions. Your resourcefulness allows you to utilise available resources to achieve objectives and overcome obstacles.
