The Opportunity

Our Graduate Analyst Program (GAP) is a structured two to three-year program, developing both technical finance skills and practical core consulting skills through on-the-job learning, formal courses and studying the ACCA Diploma. You will work with your assigned counsellor to build a learning plan around your own interests as they develop, driving your career in a direction you choose, alongside the needs of the business. The Graduate Analyst Program will equip successful applicants with the necessary skills, knowledge, and experience for a career in Management Consulting.
