Graduate Programme Audit, Audit & Assurance, Guernsey

Job description What does this team do?

Audit has a really important role in society, helping to protect the public interest. Accurate financial and corporate reporting is essential for businesses. It means that we are able to hold companies to account, maintain financial stability in the country and protect the consumers who rely on those businesses.

Our team provides independent auditor reports, looking at both the truth and fairness of organisations' annual financial statements.

We want everyone who joins to feel good about this role, and, as a well-known audit firm, it's important for us to achieve excellence in the quality of our audit work.

The landscape for audit reporting is changing fast and our work continues to evolve. More and more, we're using intelligent machines to automate and standardise processes, so focus can go on delivering a great product for our businesses. A role that enables you to enjoy real responsibility early in your career.

Our offices in Jersey, Guernsey and the Isle of Man offer something unique; the opportunity to work for a Big Four firm whilst living in a beautiful island setting. Each island has a distinctive atmosphere with vibrant communities and a wide variety of outdoor pursuits on offer. Working in the islands presents the career opportunities found in large cities but with the benefit of short commutes and being able to take full advantage of the temperate climate as well as proximity to the sea, beautiful landscapes and nature.

Our offices may be smaller than some (c.200 colleagues across the three islands) but this doesn't mean our clients are. The Channel Islands and Isle of Man are home to diverse and thriving financial markets giving you the opportunity to work with high profile, prestigious clients.

We work with organisations of all sizes; from rapidly growing local companies to international private equity and real estate businesses with a global reach. Our broad range of clients means that no day in our Islands' Audit practice is ever the same.

Our close-knit office community encourages plenty of hands‑on experience and the chance to work closely with senior colleagues who invest in your development and career progression from day one.

You'll need to have obtained or be studying towards a minimum 2:1 in any degree discipline and have graduated by July 2027 for the Autumn 2027 intake.

You’ll have the chance to work directly with major organisations, building your skills through our excellent training programme, and delivering quality services that make a real difference to our society.

Early on in your career you'll be given responsibility for developing people and managing teams, supported by us every step of the way. You'll have the opportunity to think creatively and work together to solve problems. You'll get involved with different organisations, helping you to understand how they operate and learning about the economic and industry issues that matter to them.
