We offer flexible hours, part-time roles, working from home options and we have also built a range of support to ensure you are set up for success!
Rewards & Benefits
At BDO we put our people at the heart of everything we do. To reflect this we have built a Reward structure that responds to our employee’s demands. Our benefits include:
Part-time options
We want to ensure that we can offer you working hours that work for you. If that means you can only work 9-2 then we make that happen

We understand that Returners are likely to need additional flexibility around where they work and when they work. We will sit with you to understand your needs and will ensure that your role can facilitate that flexibility
Broad Benefits Package
