“I am so proud to be part of the KPMG team, and I can’t believe how much I have grown as a person since starting here. I look forward with optimism for what lies ahead in my professional journey” – Induja Rasanathan, Auckland C&E Grad, 2021.

“Something that I like about working  KPMG is that it caters to a wide range of University degrees which isn’t just accounting. There are a wide range of people who are great to work with. There are a lot of cool social aspects to KPMG like the social club and getting paired up with a buddy.” – Kate Driscoll, Auckland Tax Grad, 2021.

“I was lucky enough to intern in the Financial Services Audit team at KPMG. It was an awesome experience and helped me gain a much better understanding of what life is like in the corporate world. I was able to build strong relationships with different people at the firm, opening up opportunities such as my recent move into the Corporate Finance team.” – Jordan Stevenson, Auckland Deals Advisory Grad 2021.

“The coolest thing about my job is the opportunity to take your career path in a direction that interests you. Having exposure to many different industries and clients helps to figure out what excites you and where you can succeed. Support networks at KPMG will assist you in developing your skills, experience, and professional qualifications to get you where you want to be. Working at KPMG is investing in your future, which is a very rewarding part of the job.” – Dominic Taylor, Christchurch Risk Consulting Grad, 2021.

“The coolest thing about being an Auditor at KPMG is finding deficiencies in controls and misstatements. I like this because it gives me a purpose to work up to my full potential. The second-best thing is that I get to travel a lot and work at different workplaces throughout the year. It makes work more interesting and enjoyable for me.” – Tarunjot Singh, Hamilton Audit Grad, 2021.
