Our story

Our purpose.

We exist to make an impact that matters.

In other words, we’re here to make a positive difference on the things that matter most.

The things that matter to our clients. Our people. And society.

We’ve been around for more than 175 years. What’s mattered has changed a lot.

What hasn’t is that our clients trust us with supporting them on their most complex and important work.

Work that transforms business. Changes society. Responds to crises. Provides assurance.

Work that helps people to thrive and delivers a more responsible and sustainable tomorrow.

Work that ultimately touches most people’s daily lives, even if they don’t know it.

It’s a responsibility we take seriously.

From carefully considering what we do and how we do it, doing the right thing counts. Always.

Our people are a varied and talented bunch. And they’re what sets us apart.

Yes, they’re auditors, consultants, financial advisers, analysts and tax specialists. But they’re also parents, volunteers and members of our local communities.

Different skills. Different ideas. Different ways of thinking.

Same values. Same can-do attitude. Same commitment to making a difference that matters. Same universal love of PowerPoint…

We’ve got experts in all sorts. You never have to go far to find someone who knows the answer.

Our biggest strength? Connection - how we bring all this brilliant thinking together.

Connection ensures we get to the right answer for our clients. Not just an answer. And one that is mindful of the wider impact of what we do too.

Because the way business does business matters.

And whether it’s in the business community or our local communities, we want to inspire people to make a positive difference in society.

We’re doing our bit too. We’ve already helped one million people get to where they want to be. And now we’re aiming to help five million more through skills, education and inclusion.
