Two Scouts talking

At KPMG, attitude is every bit as important as ability. Being a team player, having passion for what you do and a desire to continuously improve in order to go far. If you love to learn and sincerely want to make an impact, you’ll feel at home from day one.

Independent thinking is essential. We want graduates that can look at a problem from a variety of angles. You’ll need to be prepared to challenge assumptions and bring new perspectives to our clients' businesses.

KPMG is much more than an accounting firm. We provide Audit, Tax and Advisory services across a wide range of industries, government and not-for-profit sectors.

While we are probably best known for the work we do with top-tier clients, we also provide services tailored to meet the unique needs of mid-sized, fast growing and family-owned businesses. We do this through KPMG Private Enterprise where you will get to work with a diverse range of exciting businesses. Because of the size of the clients, you get better exposure to the whole company, Chief Executives included, which you just wouldn’t get with other larger corporates.

We recruit across a range of degree disciplines, skills, abilities and backgrounds. We want diversity, commitment and ambition. We value innovative ideas and we're interested in you and your unique take on the world. Your academic record is just a small part of what we consider.

Below are the Behavioural Capabilities we recruit for:

  • Delivers impact - The firm looks to invest in students that take accountability for their actions and always consider the wider implications – to the firm, colleagues and the public at large. When working on projects, use innovative approaches that pull from a diverse range of perspectives to deliver against your priorities. 
  • Seek growth - Regularly reflect on how you can expand your knowledge and broaden your perspective. Take time to develop, motivate and work with others. Build meaningful, collaborative relationships with colleagues that enable you to deliver excellent outcomes.
  • Inspire trust - Drive quality and provide consistently exceptional service to our clients. Lead by example and act with integrity, speaking up when you see behaviour that is inconsistent with our Values. Foster a culture where people are encouraged to be themselves, so that everyone feels like they belong.
