Job DescriptionOverview

The KPMG audit department in South West & Wales is split across three office locations: Bristol, Cardiff and Plymouth.

As a smaller office, it mixes the benefits of working for a Global Organisation with a small office feel, with staff working closely with each other across all departments.
Our Plymouth office is based on out outskirts of Plymouth in a newly refurbished office with parking available for everyone.
Similar to Cardiff, it has the mix of working with big organisations whilst also maintaining that close-knit office environment.
All offices have canteen facilities.
