I work very closely with the client and that makes the job more satisfying and interesting...it isn't just number crunching alone all the time!” -- Senior Associate

• “You are in charge of your training.” -- Senior Associate, Audit

• “In your first few years, there is loads of training – both formal and informal. Some are general relating to auditing, however, many are specific to the industry you work in which is very useful.
