What insiders say about…
My role is to assist the audit team out at the client. I complete basic audit activities such as control testing and the testing of simpler accounts such as treasury. I have to communicate with the client and my team to achieve my objectives
Everybody gets along well. We go out for lunches and drinks after work quite regularly
A lot of research in the area they are applying for as well as thinking about what they have accomplished/done in the past and how this could apply to the high-stress environment at KPMG
Outside of busy season (leading up to June 30) it seems pretty laid back, come in 0830 and leave at 5. During busy season and during strict project deadlines, you need to just pull up your socks and deal with the long hours.
The general training provided and CA training provided are priceless and therefore the salary is slightly low however the experiences that you have are also invaluable.
The social events and audit drinks are the best, as well as client and non-client lunches and social events. We also get awards for exceptional performance with monetary values attached that we are able to select gift vouchers for.
Interacting with manager is good. But can be difficult to reach them sometimes just because they are busy and out at clients.
One week of tax training interstate for all graduates and weekly internal trainings
