What is KPMG?

KPMG Australia is a professional services firm. Clients across a wide range of industries, government, and not-for-profit sectors come to us with complex challenges and our teams develop real-world, sustainable solutions in partnership with them.

We offer a full range of services across Audit, Assurance & Risk Consulting; Deals, Tax & Legal; Management Consulting; and Innovation & Digital Solutions. Plus, our KPMG Enterprise division is dedicated to the unique needs of mid-sized, fast-growing and family-owned businesses.

Our approximately 9,000 people have expertise across almost every industry and specialism. We could be working on anything from helping a family-owned apple farm branch out into growing a

new fruit to improvement opportunities while auditing a telecommunication company’s books or finding ways to increase jobs in a remote island community.

We have 13 offices around the country and we’re part of the global KPMG network of firms, operating in 146 countries and territories.

Working out where to take your career is hard and daunting but you can fast track things here.

The work we do is diverse (and so are the people you’ll work with), so you’ll collect lots of experience quickly to help you find the path that’s right for you.

Sure, most professional services firms offer ‘great experience’ but this is how we’re different:

• Our leaders and your colleagues are truly committed to graduate development: you’ll be doing the real work to build your career intentionally.

A huge menu of perks. Here’s a taste:

• Employee discounts (JB HiFi, The Iconic, Virgin and 100s more partners)

Our community

It’s a truly inclusive culture and by that, we mean that everyone who wants to help our clients, communities and their colleagues grow sustainably and do meaningful work is welcome. Our clients tell us the way we go about our work is what sets us apart – we think deeply and differently to solve complex problems. Diversity of thought is what makes that happen.

We’re proud of creating an inclusive workplace that values diversity. For us, our difference comes down to people and culture:

• Our people are smart, innovative, curious and respectful.
• Our culture is open, inclusive and collaborative.
