JOB PURPOSE

The Mazars European graduate programme is open to graduates looking for a unique development programme to launch their international career in audit industry at Mazars. Students across Europe will join a unique international cohort of graduates who will work across two different countries during their 3 year long graduate programme.
Those that join the UK graduate scheme will be working alongside France, with trainees being part of our Audit Industry and Services (I&S) team. You will spend your first-year in London UK, and then have the unique and exciting opportunity to spend your second year in Paris, France with an allowance to support your accommodation and living costs for your time spent overseas before returning to the UK to complete your graduate programme.
The role of an auditor is to ensure financial statements produced by audited entities are ‘true and fair’ and an accurate repreisentation of the transactions and balances they claim to represent. In the audit service line, you can expect to be part of highly engaged teams, working together to deliver high quality audits in line with expectations and deadlines.
We are now operating a hybrid working model, so as a trainee you will split your time between working from home, visiting the office, client sites when required or studying for your professional exams.
We are looking for candidates with a strong desire to learn and progress, and we give increasing responsibility when an individual is ready rather than at pre-determined times.
Our broad expectation of roles and responsibilities during the three-year training contract is set out below.
