Professional Services

Graduate Scheme

This sector includes strategy consultancy firms looking for strategy analysts and associates and more financially orientated firms offering opportunities in audit, tax, accounting, actuarial, benefits etc. Some of these also have schemes in corporate finance and advisory areas. Many recruit from their summer internships, so you may need work experience in order to land a full time role.

Be aware that the majority of consulting and professional services firms require you to complete online tests. You have to pass these before they even look at your application. Its therefore critical that you practice before hand. You will greatly increase your chances of success.
