SPOTLIGHT ON FINANCE
EY
In a world where disruption is the norm and the pace of change is constantly accelerating, technology is integral to the success of virtually all organisations and drives some of the biggest challenges and decisions businesses need to make. As such the skills required to be successful at EY are evolving. Technology is embedded in the solutions and services we provide to our clients and it underpins everything that we do. The nature of the work we undertake is rapidly encompassing digitally enabled solutions – especially in the fields of data analytics, robotic process automation and customer service design. Clients are also turning to us for help with emerging technologies such as Blockchain, where we can bring the full breadth of EY’s services in to help clients overcome the many and varied challenges that such a potential game-changer brings.

elements of their role. While we anticipate complex problem solving and critical thinking will form a significant part of the repertoire of our workforce, so too will be the ability to connect with others, leverage relationships and diversity, often working virtually. Furthermore, the ability to solve problems through creative solutions, sparking innovation and the ability to think outside of the box, will be key.
At EY, we are already seeing a shift in the demand for ‘digital innovators’ and our recently launched Digital Degree Apprenticeship is just the start of how our role profiles are evolving.

KPMG
Technology underpins everything we do at KPMG. We are embracing new innovations such as the cloud, data analytics and artificial intelligence right across our business to empower our clients as never before. For example, we have just launched KPMG Clara, our smart new audit platform which allows clients to interact with our auditors online, in real time as we conduct the audit.
The ever-changing technological landscape also means what we require from graduates is evolving too. We look for graduate entrants who are passionate about technology, and also highly motivated to build both their business and technical skills. Alongside those skills, we look for a mix of behavioural capabilities to
ensure that those joining KPMG bring their imagination and insight with them, along with the core tech proficiency and business acumen we require.
