Accounting Firm          2009 Intake        Change on 2008

Deloitte                            508                           21%

KPMG                               378                          -16%

Ernst & Young                425                          -15%

PwC                                    374                           2.7%

According to our calculations, this means a net increase of 88 grads at Deloitte, 10 grads at PwC and net decreases of 72 at KPMG and 75 at Ernst & Young. If this is corrrect, there is a net reduction of 49 graduate positions amongst the Big4 accounting firms this year.

We wish the very best of luck to all grads on the job-hunt.
