Spark your curiosity in Audit with Molly, a graduate trainee at KPMG!

May 28, 2021 Sponsored Content 3 minutes read

​

Meet Molly, who explains what she enjoys most about KPMG and why she chose our Audit Intensive Graduate programme!

Hello, I’m Molly and I joined the KPMG intensive graduate Audit programme in 2018 after studying a math’s degree at Bath University.

After working in a talent agency, yes, I really did! I decided I wanted to complete the ICAEW Chartered Accountant (ACA) qualification. After looking at the graduate schemes on offer, which was quite overwhelming, I secured a role at KPMG. In Audit KPMG offers two options when applying to their grad scheme. You can either apply to the empowered version or the intensive.

Now, I went for intensive, but do not worry. It really isn’t as scary as it sounds. Yes, it was challenging, but it was so rewarding. If I look back over the last two years, the growth I’ve made is just astounding.

So, on the intensive programme, you get the opportunity to sit 14 out of the 15 ACA exams, within the first ten months of joining the company. Now this is a really unique opportunity to really learn the theory behind something before you need to apply it. And this suits the way I like to work perfectly. I also thoroughly enjoyed the ten months of learning on the intensive scheme. You can kind of think of it as a condensed year at University.

Studying a STEM degree has definitely helped me with some transferable skills in my day-to-day role. However, I work alongside a variety of people, from variety of backgrounds with a variety of qualifications. And that’s what I really love about KPMG, its people. It has a collaborative network of individuals from all different backgrounds. And I get this opportunity to work with them every single day. I’ve made some lifelong friends within the teams that I work with and on the intensive scheme, one of which is actually now my house mate. Having the opportunity to work with such an innovative, globally renowned company, really is so exciting. And I hope I get the opportunity to work alongside you too soon.
