Case Study

Meet Matthew Reilly, BDO Audit Trainee, London

‘If you had told me when I started out as a professional footballer in Glasgow 3 years ago that I would one day be working as a financial services audit trainee in London, I’m not sure I would’ve quite believed you.
In life you never know what’s around the corner. Early on I was forced to retire as a footballer and look at other options. Fortunately for me I continued to study whilst playing football and I gained a real interest in the world of finance and accounts.

I spoke to a variety of different companies but most of them seemed to have a narrow focus when it came down to the type of candidate they were looking for. What stood out for me with BDO was how open they were to different types of people and personalities.
I am currently studying towards my ACA qualification and looking forward to learning as much as I can whilst hopefully progressing through the ranks at BDO.’
