Are numbers, data and analytics your thing? Are you looking to become a CIMA-qualified accountancy professional within an organisation with CIMA Premier Partnership?

XPO Logistics could have the perfect finance graduate programme for you!

Our finance graduate programme is a structured four-year programme broken down into four year-long placements across the business. During this time, you’ll be studying towards your CIMA qualification, so by the end of the programme you will be fully qualified chartered accountant.

Responsibilities:

Your first year could be spent working with our central finance team at our head office in Northampton, gaining insight to a range of departments such as credit control, treasury and our shared service centre.

Years 2 and 3 will be spent in our operations, gaining operational experience with a couple of our contracts. You’ll work with site-based finance teams supporting some of our largest business units, getting involved in anything from the production of weekly reports for the customer to helping with the budget and forecasting process. This will give you a well-rounded view of everything finance!

Finally, you’ll get the opportunity to spend your time within the FMS - this is our central team that produces financial information for a range of closed book accounts.

Salary and Benefits:

XPO Logistics will give you the tools to develop your career. You’ll be given financial responsibility from day one along with an amazing support network of colleagues and senior Financial Controllers. Your salary will start at £25,000 per annum and will rise to £27,000 per annum after successful completion of year one. Following the first two years on the programme, we will review your progress and look to offer you further salary increments in line with your role and performance - both in the workplace and in gaining your professional qualification.

On top of that, we pay and cover your accommodation costs for your first two weeks of each placement whilst you find your feet. Our graduate team are always on hand to offer advice through regular one-to-ones and graduate webinars. The team ensure you are getting the most out of all your placements while guiding you through your XPO journey.

You’ll have access to a variety of high street discounts including PureGym, Apple, Superdry, Pizza Hut, discounted cinema tickets and many more! 

Qualifications:

Luckily for you, we offer the programme to those with a degree in any discipline. We’re a people-focused business, so we’re looking for graduates with drive, resilience and the determination to become future leaders. We just ask that you’re mobile, can move around the UK with our support and have the desire to succeed.
