  Accountants with empathy
 
Douglas Holyoak, director of learning and education of PwC, says more than 80 percent of the firm's graduates choose QP because of its focus on providing practical and workplace-style experience. QP helps train the staff to be good communicators and problem solvers who can think from clients' perspectives.
