Tax Graduate Program

Why choose Tax as a grad?Clear, concise and ethical tax advice means better business decisions.
As a tax graduate, you can be a true partner to the businesses you advise while experiencing a variety of challenges and industries.

Location of this job: nominate your KPMG office location during the application process.
About rolling intake: We run two rounds of recruitment: main intake (now closed) and rolling intake.
We aim to fill as many of our roles as possible through the main intake but, of course, things change and new roles come up.
Applying to the rolling intake means your application will be reviewed as a suitable role comes up (and it does happen).
What your day as a KPMG graduate could look like You'll be part of a team of both experienced and early-career professionals who work on solving problems.
The client (they could be an international company, a local charity, a small business) brings us a challenge and we create a team and a plan to help solve it.
The work itself is varied depending on your team and the client, so expect to build knowledge of several industries and businesses.
You might be researching and gathering information on international tax law, liaising with clients to understand decisions or challenges they face, assessing a client's current processes against best practice, working with your team to write a report, or ensuring tax compliance across multiple jurisdictions for international transactions.
