Start your career in accountancy with a BDO apprenticeship

The Programme

A career in accountancy is about much more than numbers. At BDO, it’s about gaining early exposure and using your skills to solve complex, challenging problems for their clients. If you’re ready to start earning while you learn at a friendly place that will bring out the best in you, BDO’s School Leaver Programme lets you do all of this and more.

BDO believe the sharing of unique perspectives is what makes their business stronger. For you, this means taking on early responsibility and thriving in a collaborative, inclusive workplace. It’s easy to be inspired at BDO. 

You’ll be supported throughout your training by a network of like-minded people as you get to know the ins and outs of their business. At BDO, it’s the best of both worlds - picking up highly regarded professional qualifications, while enjoying a salaried career. At the same time, you’ll be gaining invaluable experience in a commercial environment, working on real business projects surrounded by leading industry professionals who respect and value your contribution. They’ll also give you choice and flexibility around how, when and where you work in order to achieve the best possible outcomes for you, your team, and your clients.

BDO offer School Leaver programmes in three key areas: Audit, Tax and Business Services & Outsourcing.

What they’re looking for

They’ll expect you to have or be predicted 3 A Levels in any subject (excluding General Studies and Extended Projects) at grades A* - C. You should also have GCSEs in Maths and English Language, at grades 9 - 4. Equivalent international qualifications are welcome.

BDO know that your qualifications and work experience don’t tell them the full story. So, they’re keen to find out what you care about and love to do in life. After all, BDO is a place where you’ll feel free to be yourself. They always look for people who are supportive, responsible, honest and happy working as part of a team.
