"After a four year International Assignment to KPMG's International Headquarters in Amsterdam, I took a six month unpaid sabbatical, returning to a role in internal management in the U.K. Tax practice. I now work as part of a team supporting KPMG International's CEO who is based in London. When my child was born, I took maternity leave and returned to work on an 18 hour week split between home and the office. KPMG is very supportive of this arrangement."

Life balance

We know that getting the right balance between your personal and professional life can be hard. That's why, in many locations, we offer flexible working and other support such as study leave for graduates and remote working. We want you to stay fit and healthy with plenty of energy and enthusiasm. It's an important part of life at KPMG and it also makes sense for us as a business.

Our remote working options enable KPMG people to work on the move, while traveling, or from another location such as a client office or even from home. We understand that this level of flexibility is important and many member firms offer leading edge technology to support you.

Flexible working options vary according to location but may include part-time work, flexitime, job sharing, compressed work week, telecommuting, career breaks, and unpaid leave. And reducing your working hours or working flexitime does not mean saying good-bye to promotion either. Hundreds of highly successful KPMG people choose flexible working so they can spend more time with their family or develop other interests.
