We’re BDO. An accountancy and business advisory firm, providing the advice and solutions entrepreneurial organisations need to navigate today’s changing world.
We work with the companies that are Britain’s economic engine ambitious, entrepreneurially spirited and high‑growth businesses that fuel the economy and directly advise the owners and management teams that lead them.
The Quality and Risk Management Team (QRMT) at BDO comprises several sub-teams including the Office of the General Counsel, Root Cause Analysis, Enterprise Risk Management, Economic Crime, Quality Management, Ethics and Independence and Advisory Regulatory and Compliance. It provides Partners and staff with the guidance, tools and support to enable them to identify and manage quality and risk issues. The QRMT is led by the Head of Quality and Risk Management Team, who is a partner who reports into the Head of Quality and Risk for BDO.
Leading organisations trust us because of the quality of our advice. That quality grows from a thorough understanding of their business, and that understanding comes from working closely with them and building long-lasting relationships.
You’ll be someone who is both comfortable working proactively and managing your own tasks, as well as confident collaborating with others and communicating regularly with BDO’s Partners and senior employees to help the businesses manage risk effectively.
A key role of BDO’s Office of the General Counsel (OGC) is to manage risk matters to ensure successful outcomes are achieved, PI insurers notified when appropriate, and losses (including reputational damage) to the firm are minimised.
A vacancy has arisen for a Legal Counsel to join the team to provide support on practice protection matters.
The role involves significant interaction with Partners and other senior members of a large professional services firm. You will work closely with senior members of the OGC and there will be the opportunity to develop your knowledge and understanding of all areas of the UK business of BDO and the matters mentioned in the paragraph above.
