Applying to the rolling intake means your application will be reviewed as a suitable role comes up (and it does happen!).

You might be researching and gathering information, critically assessing financial statements to understand if the information is correct, liaising with clients to understand decisions or challenges they face, working with your team to develop an audit opinion, or implement new compliance software.
