In my four and half years with Tax, I had the chance to volunteer and attend events beyond work which allowed me to gain knowledge, skills and connections in the Sustainability field. As my career goals and direction shifted, KPMG in Singapore supported me in the transition, and I am extremely grateful to be given the opportunity to be in the Sustainability field through an internal transfer.
From time to time, short-term resources may be required for business needs within the firm. For you, this will mean always-on opportunities to gain work exposure in other parts of the firm.
Data Analytics was never part of my plan when I first joined audit, simply because I did not know of it. As I gained more exposure to Data Analytics during my audit journey, I got more interested in it and wanted more guidance and knowledge in this area. That’s why I decided to opt for a secondment to Data Analytics.
My journey with Tax at KPMG in Singapore has been a fruitful one, giving me opportunities to work with clients from diverse industries and allowing me to learn and grow through my experience in the Corporate Tax Compliance and Planning department. I had the opportunity to be seconded to the Indirect Tax team earlier this year where I learned and practiced GST, assisting with client's ACAP and ASK engagements. Such experience allowed me to apply the GST knowledge I had acquired as well as to assist my tax compliance clients should they need any clarification on GST.

Tax Trek Program

The structured, firm-supported Tax Trek programme caught my interest because it gave me the confidence to apply my skills in a new cultural setting. My assignment with the Transaction Advisory Group (TAG) in Japan focused on cross-border transactions, which aligned well with my current role at KPMG in Singapore. Apart from deepening my project management and Tax skills, I enjoyed immersing in Japan’s inclusive work culture and am inspired to strengthen relationships with my colleagues and clients.
My interest in Tax Trek stemmed from a desire to understand tax practices in other countries, especially as I work with KPMG member firms across our global network. In my role with the Corporate Tax Advisory team, I supported projects involving tax issues across Poland and the EU, as well as business development prospects. The programme has expanded my tax expertise, providing valuable immersion that directly aligns with my professional aspirations.
I was inspired to participate in Tax Trek after hearing about my seniors’ experiences and encouragement. My assignment with the Corporate Tax team introduced me to new tax concepts and I observed how the team diligently navigated the requirements of the local tax landscape. It was eye-opening to see the rigour of audit and fieldwork in another country. Understanding different economic contexts has enriched my perspectives of tax.
