Connect to your business - Financial Advisory

Strong financial planning is just the start. This is where you can change the fortunes of an organisation, working with great minds across our business. Because there's one thing that makes our advice better than our competitors: our people.

Personal independence

Regulation and controls are standard practice in our industry and Deloitte is no exception. These controls provide important legal protection for both you and the firm. We are subject to a number of audit regulations, one of which requires that certain colleagues abide by specific personal independence constraints (e.g., in relation to any financial interests and employment relationships). This can mean that you and your "Immediate Family Members" are not permitted to hold certain financial interests (shares, funds, bonds etc.) with audit clients of the firm, and also prohibitions on certain employment relationships (e.g., you are not permitted to hold a secondary employment role with SEC audit clients of the firm whilst being employed by the firm). The recruitment team will provide further detail as you progress through the recruitment process or you can contact the Independence team upon request.

Connect with your colleagues

"My work is incredibly diverse and varied, as are the clients I support. We have amazing links with public sector clients as well as the private sector and I enjoy both sides of that."
