Ideas | People | Trust

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.

We’ll broaden your horizons

Our Advisory team provide a wide variety of services that deliver value-led advice and outcomes. They have an in-depth knowledge of business, industry sectors and markets and understand the constantly changing risks and opportunities at the heart of affairs. The team work across strategy, operations and improvement as well as at a transactional and defined project level. From technology to risk advisory, they’re experts in following through on top-level instructions and resolving the finer details – all in one straight-forward package. When you join them, you’ll work on some of the world's most exciting financial operations and business deals, building your experience and expertise alongside the brightest minds in the industry

We’ll help you succeed

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 senior managers, directors, and BDO’s partners to help businesses effectively. You’ll be encouraged to identify and draw attention to opportunities for enhancing our delivery and providing additional services to organisations we work with.

This newly formed role joins our Advisory Sustainability & ESG Hub. The Hub was established in 2022 to build BDO’s sustainability capacity and embed ESG considerations into client work acting as a catalyst for growth, an incubator for new services, and a centre of excellence.

In this role you’ll will lead complex client assignments in the fields of carbon measurement and reporting, decarbonisation and net zero transition. You’ll have the opportunity to support with business development and build capacity across the firm. The successful candidate will help to shape this growing capability.

This is a senior position and therefore a demonstrable track-record of successful delivery is required, including project management, quantifying scope 1-3 emissions, and either advising on or implementing carbon reduction plans. A thorough understanding of carbon accounting standards, including the GHG Protocol, and awareness of greenhouse gas reporting legislation is essential. Experience of ESG data management systems and people management experience are desirable.

The role can be based in London, Bristol, Birmingham or Leeds. Other locations will be considered.

You’ll be someone with:

A high level of proficiency in carbon accounting spanning scopes 1-3, and a strong technical knowledge of carbon reporting legislation and standards.

A track record of managing complex greenhouse gas quantification projects, either in a consultancy context or in-house.

Excellent communication skills, both written and verbal. With the ability to explain concepts to technical and non technical users

High level of proficiency in Microsoft Excel, Word and PowerPoint.

Degree-level qualification in a relevant subject (e.g. physical sciences, engineering or business).

Desirable:

It would be an advantage to have experience setting science-based targets and implementing and/or using ESG data platforms.

Experience of developing focused carbon reduction strategies, plans, roadmaps and initiatives for organisations would also be an advantage

Experience of assessing and managing climate-related risk/opportunity, and developing TCFD-aligned disclosures would be an advantage

You’ll be able to be yourself; we’ll recognise and value you for who you are and celebrate and reward your contributions to the business. We’re committed to agile working, and we offer every colleague the opportunity to work in ways that suit you, your teams, and the task at hand.

At BDO, we’ll help you achieve your personal goals and career ambitions, and we have programmes, resources, and frameworks that provide clarity and structure around career development.

We’re in it together

Mutual support and respect is one of BDO’s core values and we’re proud of our distinctive, people-centred culture. From informal success conversations to formal mentoring and coaching, we’ll support you at every stage in your career, whatever your personal and professional needs.

Our agile working framework helps us stay connected, bringing teams together where and when it counts so they can share ideas and help one another. At BDO, you’ll always have access to the people and resources you need to do your best work.

We know that collaboration is the key to creating value for the companies we work with and satisfying experiences for our colleagues, so we’ve invested in state-of-the-art collaboration spaces in our offices. BDO’s people represent a wealth of knowledge and expertise, and we’ll encourage you to build your network, work alongside others, and share your skills and experiences. With a range of multidisciplinary events and dedicated resources, you’ll never stop learning at BDO.

We’re looking forward to the future

At BDO, we help entrepreneurial businesses to succeed, fuelling the UK economy.

Our success is powered by our people, which is why we’re always finding new ways to invest in you. Across the UK thousands of unique minds continue to come together to help companies we work with to achieve their ambitions.

We’ve got a clear purpose, and we’re confident in our future, because we’re adapting and evolving to build on our strengths, ensuring we continue to find the right combination of global reach,
