      Are you looking for a traditional graduate program? We believe we have something even better.

      The KPMG Advisory Academy is a 14-month development program designed to give you the best possible start to your career. As part of the Academy, you will develop foundational consulting skills and build a strong network across KPMG Advisory.

      The KPMG Advisory Academy consists of three modules and several networking sessions. Each module focuses on a different professional aspect of working as a consultant or associate at KPMG and includes an intensive two-day learning experience at an off-site location. You will also have the opportunity to socialize and build relationships with your fellow Academy participants.

      The modules are sequential, meaning that you must complete Module 1 before progressing to Modules 2 and 3.

      Who is it for?


      The KPMG Advisory Academy is designed for everyone starting a job position at KPMG Advisory during the early years of their career - whether you have just graduated from university or transition from another industry into the consulting or auditing business. We ensure that everyone gets the same foundation to build their KPMG career on.

      Joining the KPMG Advisory Academy taught me how to grow without losing that sense of balance. I’ve learned that success feels truly meaningful only when it leaves room for life beyond the screen. Here I found a strong network, inspiring colleagues from all kinds of backgrounds, and learning opportunities. That blend of structured training and hands-on tech experience helped me not only evolve professionally, but also understand how to thrive sustainably — in work and in life.

      Why should you join the KPMG Advisory Academy?

      As mentioned, this is not a traditional graduate program. Instead, it is an Academy tailored to consultants and associates, with a focus on personal and professional development and building a strong network during their first year at KPMG.

      As you progress through the Advisory Academy, you will set learning objectives and take part in a combination of structured in-house training and client-facing engagements designed to support your development. In addition, the broad network you build at the very beginning of your career will be a valuable resource and help you expand your professional horizons.

      You will work in diverse teams that support your growth through hands-on experience with clients and relevant projects. You will also become part of a professional network and gain access to the latest knowledge within your area of interest, helping you realize your full potential. In addition, you will be assigned a Koach, KPMG’s equivalent of a performance manager, who will help guide your development and keep you on the right track.

      The Advisory Academy also gives you the opportunity to network and socialize with colleagues from across the organization through immersive off-site learning experiences. Each module includes days filled with engaging courses, as well as plenty of opportunities to connect with others through dinners and team-building activities.

      Most importantly, you will always be part of a team at KPMG. Together, we will help ensure that you have the best possible experience and opportunities for development.

      How do you join?

      To become part of the KPMG Advisory Academy, you will go through the following four steps in our application process: the application, interviews, the offer, screening. You can read more about the different steps by clicking on them below. You are welcome to apply to multiple positions if you have different areas of interest, but make sure that you tailor your application for each of the respective area of interest you apply to. 

      To apply to a job at KPMG and become part of the KPMG Advisory Academy, we ask you to upload your CV, motivational letter, and your diploma and grade transcript. If we see a match with your profile and KPMG, we invite you for a first interview

      Generally for a position in our Advisory Function, you will have three rounds of interviews. The first interview is to get to know you and for you to get to know us. The purpose is to make sure there is a match and that we align expectations. You can ask all your questions during this interview.

      After the first interview, you will receive a call to hear whether you will proceed to the next round. We will ask you to do a personality and cognitive assessment before the second interview. You will also get a case, relevant for the respective service line, either to prepare before the interview or during the interview. Lastly, you will have an interview with the leader of the service line to discuss the last questions you or we might have. 

      The interview process for our Audit Function is a bit shorter with only one interview. As part of the invitiation to the interview, you will be asked to do the personality and congnitive tests. You do not have to prepare a case, neither before nor during the interview. If we see match, you will get a call with a potential job offer.

      Do we have a match? If we do, you will receive our offer to join us and start your KPMG adventure. You will not just find your salary in the offer, but also any other benefits like vacation days, pension and more. Are you saying yes to the offer? Congrats and welcome - we are happy to have you as our new colleague! 

      At KPMG, we want to show integrity in all aspects of our organisation. This means that we screen everyone who joins us. We check your references, criminal record, and other relevant documents. Is everything ok? You will start your journey with KPMG and receive the invitation to join our onboarding day plus all other relevant information before your start date. 

      Being a mother is what I hold most dear in my life and therefore, it was crucial to me to join a company with the right work-life balance while navigating into the start of my consulting career. I can assure you that I have not only been entitled to work remotely when required, but our clients and colleagues are also very flexible and understanding when I have to leave at different times of the day.
