In this episode we talk to Charlie, a graduate associate at PwC.

School — Uni — Travel — Café job — Recruitment job = PwC (not just Uni = PwC.)

Things we cover:

• What is accountancy + audit
• Getting onto a grad scheme. Standing out.
• Becoming a chartered accountant steps.
• Other routes into PwC (flying starts programme)
• Other arms of PwC (there isn’t just accountancy + audit).

Charlie had 2 years post Uni before he got his graduate job at PwC.

His job now, is to go into a company, and make sure all their financial statements give them a true and proper view of the position they’re in at that time. Shifting through all their info and making sure there are no mistakes.

We love this episode. Charlie’s route into PwC isn’t a traditional one, and it is refreshing to hear. We learn how experience and time can help your application better than you can ever imagine.

Key take aways from this, from Charlie - go at your own pace. Do not compare what you’re doing to others.

We also chat about the application process and what to expect, hint - it’s quite long…
