What do our people say about working here?

BFY really focuses on the employees and understand that the majority of the job is learned whilst working for clients. They teach you the essentials of the business and provide learning material to start your consultancy journey to ensure everyone has the same initial level and then you start consultancy work within a week or two. It's really incredible to see the level of trust they place in you to allow you to work with clients so early on, rather than have you sat watching from the sidelines. - Tom Deen, Consultant, joined BFY December 2023.

“When you join a new company, it can be daunting, am I good enough? Will I be able to do it? Imposter syndrome can be a real worry, joining BFY is a genuinely awesome experience. Through the process you get to speak to everyone on the team and what is amazing is how open and readily available to help EVERYONE is! The culture here is fantastic and you get to make your own decisions within an incredibly supportive framework." – Kev Brown, Senior Manager, joined BFY September 2022
