Be interested, be exceptional, be KPMG!
What’s our purpose?
If you’re passionate about New Zealand – and helping to make it a better place – then KPMG could be the firm for you.
That’s because we’ve got a bigger purpose at KPMG. We call it Fuelling New Zealand’s Prosperity…and it’s what gets us out of bed every morning. It drives us to work smarter, think differently, and achieve more for the incredible clients we work with.
We need great people with us on this journey – and that includes you, our future grads. We give you all the training and support you need. You’ll be encouraged to take on a world of opportunity, both in New Zealand and overseas.
So if you want your career to really count for something, you’d better count us in.
How do we recruit?
Start by researching us
Explore our website, chat with us online, engage with us, be proactive.
Apply online
Applications are usually open a year before your start date. Check out our current opportunities here when they are live. You’ll need to provide your official University academic transcript as part of your application.
Video interview and online testing
If we think you look like a good KPMG fit, based on your application, we’ll ask you to answer a few questions about yourself using an online video interview too. Don’t worry, the questions aren’t tricky (and you get the chance to practice using the video tool beforehand). We’ll also send you some verbal, numerical and personality questionnaires to do online, we have listened to your feedback on this in recent times and developed our own tool so it won’t take as long to complete as some testing you’ll receive.
Invitation to our Assessment Day
This is where it gets exciting. The invitation will be by phone, and we’ll fully explain what to expect on the day.
Assessment Day
This is a fantastic learning opportunity. You’ll get to analyse and present a real-life business case, and have fun working in teams. You’ll also be taken on an office tour, and get to network with Partners, Managers and Grads as well as having the opportunity to meet one-on-one with one of Partners or Directors.
The Offer
All offers will be made within 24 hours of the Assessment Day. Good luck!
