Knowledge Manager in London

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

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.

BDO recognizes that good Knowledge Management is a key contributor to its success.

We manage our knowledge and apply it commercially in everything we do, to help our clients, our people and our business succeed.

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.
