Providing audit, tax and advisory services, we empower clients through strategic insight, curiosity, and genuine partnership. And we empower our people with real opportunity, an inclusive culture and work life balance. A true alternative.

With over 5,000 people in the UK, and a presence in 150 global markets, we’re on an ambitious journey, from great to exceptional, and we need the best people to help us achieve our potential. And with that comes the opportunity to help redefine what our industry looks like, and what you want from your career.

Real responsibility. Real impact. Right from the start.

Advisory professionals are problem-solvers, strategists, and trusted partners. They help organisations navigate complex challenges, transform operations, and unlock growth. In this role, your insights won’t just support change - they’ll drive it, helping clients make confident decisions in an evolving business landscape.

Our Transactions Advisory Services (TAS) team supports clients through critical moments of change - from mergers and acquisitions to restructuring and strategic growth. You’ll work on high-profile transactions, helping businesses understand the financial and operational implications of their decisions. Whether it’s due diligence, valuations, or deal structuring, you’ll be at the heart of helping clients unlock value and navigate complexity.
