Careers in consulting

Today's organisations are navigating constant change. Technology is moving faster than ever. Expectations are rising. The problems businesses face rarely fit neatly into one specialism, and neither do the solutions.

That's why we're building something different.

Through Total Consulting we bring together specialists from across our business to solve bigger, more complex challenges. Instead of starting with the services we offer, we start with our clients, understanding the world they're operating in, the pressures they're facing and where they want to go next. Then we bring together the right people to help them get there.

It's a more connected, collaborative way of consulting. One where different perspectives come together to create better ideas, better solutions and better outcomes.

And it's happening at an exciting time.

We're growing, investing and working more closely than ever with colleagues across the UK, US, Ireland and Canada, opening up new opportunities, broader experiences and the chance to be part of something that's still evolving. From your first day, you'll be learning, contributing and helping shape what comes next.

Our six consulting solutions

You'll begin your career in either Risk and Governance or Finance Function Support, learning by doing from day one.

In risk and governance, no two challenges are the same. Organisations face different risks, pressures and priorities, and every project starts with understanding what matters most. Often, the most valuable insights come from asking the questions others haven't thought to ask.

From day one, you'll gain hands-on experience working with clients across a variety of sectors and environments. One week you could be visiting a hospital to understand how services operate, while the next you might be interviewing teams, analysing data, reviewing processes or discussing risks with senior leaders.

You'll work alongside experienced colleagues to help organisations strengthen the way they operate, identify opportunities for improvement and manage risk with confidence. Along the way, you'll develop analytical thinking, problem solving, communication and relationship-building skills through real client work and professional development opportunities.

In finance function support, you'll work with a wide range of organisations, from ambitious start ups and growing businesses to charities, pension schemes and global corporates. By helping clients manage their finance functions effectively, you'll gain unique insight into how organisations operate, grow and make decisions.

From day one, you'll work alongside experienced colleagues, supporting clients with financial reporting, compliance and business critical information. You could be analysing financial performance, preparing financial statements, improving reporting processes or working directly with business owners and senior stakeholders to understand their challenges and ambitions.

You'll also have the opportunity to work with clients and colleagues across the UK, gaining exposure to different sectors, organisations and ways of working. Using the latest digital tools and technology, you'll help deliver high-quality insights that support better decision-making and create lasting value for clients.
