Job description

As a post-graduate trainee here's what will await you during your three-year training contract:

During your first year you will:

  • Develop a holistic understanding of how businesses operate and what their common problems are;

  • Identify underlying issues and provide bespoke recommendations by writing comprehensive reports.

During your second year you will:

  • Begin to identify further opportunities with both existing and new clients; and

  • Independently produce client deliverables, with minimal review points from senior colleagues; and
  • Take an active role in project management, ensuring deliverables meet the expected scope and quality requirements within the agreed deadlines and budgets.

  • Working with our clients to ensure team structures are aligned to overall strategy, optimised for cost and performance efficiency, and facilitate a purposeful culture with an engaged team.
  • Adding value to our clients' business processes to reduce costs while enhancing control, quality, and speed.
  • Improving decision making by building effective financial models and deriving actionable insights from clients' business data.
  • Working with management to develop a comprehensive 100-day plan which facilitates the smooth integration of a newly acquired firm; and
  • Helping our clients successfully deliver projects and programmes that embed sustainable change within their organisation.

You're joining us as a permanent employee, so the 3 years is only the beginning of your exceptional career journey at Forvis Mazars.
