Graduate Job News

PricewaterhouseCoopers UK, the accounting and professional services giant, is creating another 800 jobs in addition to the 1,200 graduate finance jobs they have already announced.

The news of the new jobs comes at a time when PwC are actually reporting a slowdown of 5.6 per cent in profits. The company did, however, still manage to post a handsome profit of £642 million and an increased turnover of over £2 billion.

Part of the reason for the reduced profits this year has been put down to the costs of hiring new staff to fill their general and graduate finance positions. During the last financial year, PwC UK have given jobs in the finance industry to 1,750 people and have made 57 new partners.

Chairman of PwC UK, Ian Powell, said last week: "We are under no illusion that there remain challenges ahead. However, in the next 12 months we intend to create 800 new jobs across our businesses to enhance the services and value we offer to clients," he added.

Along with Deliotte, Ernst & Young and KPMG, Pricewaterhouse Coopers make up what has become known as ‘The Big Four’ of accountancy companies in the world. PwC regularly feature in the top spot of The Times Top 100 Graduate Employers.
