Who are we looking for?
We don’t just look at your academic record or qualification, we also want to know about you. Diversity of experience, background and viewpoints are a key part of a safe and healthy work environment, and central to KPMG’s values.
We look for enthusiasm, a willingness to try new things, resilience, and thinkers who can bring a fresh perspective and communicate their ideas with passion. So, if you love to learn, have a curious mindset, and want to make a difference, we’d love to hear from you.
There are some eligibility criteria – some teams need specific qualifications or fields of study, and there are rules around citizenship/visa status.
What graduate career options
are at KPMG?
It’s not just about the numbers. Use automation to audit and streamline financial reporting or identify acquisition opportunities and be involved in planning a client’s finance division structure.
This area is for you if you’ve studied accounting, actuarial studies or finance, but we are also looking for graduates who have studied environmental studies and data engineering.
How can we build for better? Problem-solving to benefit communities could see you identifying hacking weaknesses, advising on the reliability of assets, or assessing solar farms.
If you’ve studied information systems, computer science, engineering, commerce, economics, data science or business management, this could be the pathway for you.
Assess the problem, and draw on expert knowledge across almost any area to develop the solution. It’s supply chain, customer experience, human rights, policy reform, project management and everything in between that organisations need in order to thrive.
Just as the services in this pathway are broad, so too are the degree types we’re looking for. You could have a qualification in management, computer science, economics, human resources, information systems, behavioural science, accounting, communication or environmental studies, among many others.
Legal advice that understands business and clear and compliant tax services are key to helping clients thrive in a complex and fast-paced world with high scrutiny on tax decisions.
Our tax teams are looking for graduates with accounting, business, management and law degrees.
