2024 Summer Internship Programme

BDO Summer Internships

Ideas | People | Trust

We’re BDO. An accountancy and business advisory firm, providing the advice and solutions businesses need to navigate today’s changing world.

The entrepreneurial businesses we work with are Britain’s economic engine – ambitious and high-growth businesses that fuel the economy – and the owners and management teams that lead them. 

THIS IS WHERE IT ALL BEGINS

Our six-week internship will see you gain invaluable knowledge and skills as well as exposure to BDO and our people, which could lead to an offer of a graduate role.
You’ll explore different specialisms within your stream and get stuck into a range of exciting projects. We’ll support you all the way, with extensive training as part of your induction week including specific stream training, information on professional qualifications and workshops specially designed to introduce you to our values and the importance of wellbeing. You’ll also work on group projects with other interns from other areas of the firm.
