"I joined KPMG as graduate in the Tax Rotation Program this year after completing my studies in finance/accounting and music. Between accepting the role and starting, I took on an internship at the Griffith Tax Clinic, where tax students provide free tax assistance to otherwise unrepresented people, to get some direct experience working with clients. That definitely helped and I’ve surprised myself at how much I’ve been able to learn in a short amount of time. Being immersed in a program with such supportive people is what has really developed my skills. The Tax Rotation Program opens up your network as you really get to know the people you’re working with while gaining a good understanding of what other teams do, which is great because some people may go their whole career in one team without ever knowing what it’s like in another area. My rotations so far have been in the Deals Tax and Stamp Duty teams, which have given me great exposure to working alongside other deals-focused teams across the firm and has been a great way to meet new people both in Brisbane and our interstate offices. I particularly enjoy meeting with the client in-person as you get to work alongside them in a collaborative way and flesh out the problem you’re solving. It’s been such a caring environment, and no matter how junior or senior someone is, they are always willing to help you out - which is exactly what you need when you’re starting out in your first professional role. The people in my team and the wider firm are just so good, which was one of the reasons I said yes to KPMG.” Stay tuned for applications opening in February: https://lnkd.in/gVZNHRxW
