Succeed by shaping what matters

We’re BDO, one of the UK’s largest accountancy and business advisory organisations, helping ambitious businesses, their owners and management teams navigate a changing world.

With circa 8,500 people across the UK and Ireland, backed by a global network spanning 169 countries, there’s lots of knowledge, experience and different thinking to draw on here. But what matters is what you bring to it; your ideas, perspectives - the things you care about getting right.

So, here’s where you come in:

The team you’ll join

Our Financial Services Advisory practice brings together more than 170 specialists across risk, regulation, governance, assurance and financial modelling, helping clients respond with confidence to an increasingly complex and fast-moving market. 

As part of BDO’s Consulting, Risk and Outsourcing stream, you’ll work with banks, insurers, asset managers, investment firms and other financial services organisations on some of their most important and high-profile challenges. Our expertise spans internal audit, actuarial and prudential advice, economic crime, regulatory compliance, governance, risk management, accounting advisory, financial modelling and quantitative solutions. 

It’s varied, impactful work, delivered by a collaborative, multi-disciplinary team. You’ll work alongside people with deep sector knowledge and regulatory insight, bringing fresh thinking to complex challenges while building your own expertise and experience. 

The role you’ll have

As an Executive you will be responsible for assisting with the delivery of a portfolio of projects and for the timely delivery of services. You will work closely and support Managers, Directors and Partners with engagements.

You will be involved in a range of valuation and advisory engagements relating to financial products (derivatives and cash based) across all asset classes that will include both contentious and non-contentious matters. Such engagements will also include risk related matters such as the modelling of default risk. You will also be involved in other forms of quantitative/statistical advisory projects.

You will assist with the development of valuation models and modelling techniques for financial assets ranging from complex derivatives and structured products to other hard to value instruments that are complex due to illiquidity or a lack of observable market data inputs.

The position benefits from rigorous on-the-job training from senior team members with significant experience in investment banking and consulting. Opportunities for undertaking further financial (e.g. CFA, FRM) or quantitative (e.g. CQF) qualifications will also be available.

You’ll be someone with

• Master’s degree in Finance, Economics, Mathematics, Statistics, Engineering or Computer Science from a reputable university.
• Strong professional interest in the fields of finance and financial instrument valuation, hedging and structuring.
• Intellectual curiosity and an analytical mind-set.
• An interest in applying tools from finance, mathematics and data science to provide pragmatic and robust solutions to real-world problems.
• Some knowledge of the valuation of financial products gained either from university courses, experience in a bank/consultancy or self-study initiatives.
• Good knowledge of mathematics as applied to finance and financial product valuation.
• Some programming skills in a high-level language (e.g. Python, R, MATLAB, Excel VBA) and/or experience with econometric software packages (e.g. STATA, SAS).
• Strong business writing, analytical and modelling skills.
• Effective written and oral communication skills.
• Excellent academic background and a track record of academic achievement

You’ll have people around you to learn from, ask questions and share thoughts with, alongside learning programmes to enhance your skillset and digital platforms to ease your work. All of this helps you succeed in achieving those big (and personal) dreams.

How you’ll succeed

You’ll have plenty of ways to develop at BDO; you might build deeper expertise in what you already do, take on something new or simply get better at the things that matter to you.

How and where you work matters too. Our agile working framework is designed around our Better Together approach: bringing more in-person time with clients and teams, creating more opportunities to share ideas, build confidence and develop day-to-day.

Whatever success looks like to you, you won’t be shaping it alone. You’ll have people around you who want you to do well, and plenty of opportunities to make it all count.

That’s how we’ll all continue to succeed by shaping what matters.
