Our HCaaS business sits within our Human Capital practice in Technology & Transformation – the world’s leading people and HR transformation business. As part of a practice that brings leading-edge tooling, research and analytics expertise together with deep industry knowledge, you’ll help to deliver innovative and complex transformation programmes for our clients.
As part of the HCaaS business, the Project Controller Group performs a critical role, embedding financial controls and risk management to support successful delivery of our largest and most complex projects right across Deloitte Consulting. We are trusted partners to client engagement leaders, providing timely end-to-end project accounting services and financial management information to enable better data-led decision-making. In doing so, we strengthen the interlock between project delivery teams and finance.
Our services are in demand, and as a result, we are looking for part-qualified/fully-qualified accountants, with experience in business partnering, project accounting, and financial management.

In your new role, you’ll take ownership of financial management, champion operational excellence and deliver outstanding quality.
In return, we will help develop your knowledge, skills, and provide you with opportunities to gain a network that will accelerate your career.
