Hi all. I have accepted an offer to join Accenture as a consultant (TS&A). I didn’t speak about a signing bonus but upon further reading it seems like it’s standard to discuss. Is it too late to bring it up/could I expect to receive one still, or has that ship sailed?

A signing bonus is meant to make a role attractive enough to someone that they sign. It’s not meant to be a thank you gift for taking their employment.
If you have already accepted, you already thought the role was worth it.
If you can find common language in the contract that makes it clear a signing bonus should be expected, then maybe bring up that the amount was never discussed. If it is not part of your contract, then it can come across as greed if you already accepted the job without one.

Agreed. I negotiated a salary up by $35K USD and didn't ask for sign-on. Mistake on my part but once it's done, it's done.

You already accepted, you may just have to let that go. An ask like that will most likely go back to the hiring partner and may get you off on the wrong foot (not a good look).
