Apprentice of the Year
In just six years since joining KPMG after finishing school, Mollie Tattersall is taking on manager-level responsibilities, delivering high impact projects and inspiring others to pursue a career in consulting.
As an apprentice in KPMG’s Governance, Risk and Compliance Services (GRCS) team, Mollie’s performance, judgement and rate of development consistently exceed expectations for her career stage.
Based in Manchester, Mollie specialises in internal audit and SOX controls for FTSE-listed organisations. She has acted as the day-to-day lead on a complex annual SOX engagement, coordinating a multi-location team across the UK and offshore, working directly with senior client stakeholders and external auditors. Her early intervention and quality-focused approach have reduced rework and review effort, and Mollie is widely regarded as the go-to SOX specialist in her team.
Mollie is recognised for her initiative and critical thinking. During a secondment to a FTSE 100 housebuilder, she identified weaknesses in audit documentation and proactively redesigned working paper templates. These were subsequently adopted by the client and are now relied upon by external auditors.
Alongside client delivery, Mollie raises standards through coaching junior colleagues and supporting new apprentices, demonstrating strong communication skills and emotional intelligence. Through her involvement with the Key4Life charity, she volunteers in prisons across the country to help reduce youth reoffending. She is also an active advocate for apprenticeships. She returns to her old sixth form twice a year to help widen access to the profession. Over the years, she has inspired five alumni to join the apprenticeship scheme at KPMG.
