Canberra, ACT, Australia QTAC Guidance Officer Advisory Group Full time

Why choose Business and Consulting areas as a grad?

Imagine a problem an organisation might have: The customers aren't happy. A reputation is damaged. A new policy hasn't met its objectives. The HR department hasn't kept up with rapid business expansion. There are so many challenges in the everyday and in planning for the future – as a consultant, you'll help solve problems like these within a cross-functional team who can truly assess a problem and then develop and deliver solutions that meet the client's long-term goals. Taking this opportunity won't just build your skills in the specialisation you choose, you'll learn about a variety of fields 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. In Business & Consulting areas, you might be assessing and advising on a company's supply chain processes, evaluating whether a service or program was successful, developing strategic business plans, developing ways to improve customer and operational efficiencies, or driving change initiatives to help clients adapt to market demands. A big part of your role will include researching and report writing.

On a project, the team will often be made up of colleagues from several disciplines and backgrounds so we bring the best ideas to the table – in some projects there might be forensic accountants working alongside an environmental specialist and change and communications professionals.

About the graduate program

  • For students in their final year of study in 2025 or recently graduated and not yet in professional work
  • A one year grow pathway with targeted coaching, support and development as you grow your new career
  • Real work from the start so you can make an impact and learn straightaway
  • Start work in February 2026 (typically, some teams have a slightly different schedule) with a full time and ongoing graduate role.

It's been such a caring environment, and no matter how junior or senior someone is, they are always willing to help you out. (Jordan, 2024 graduate)

Learning about the workings of the world and having the tools and skills to develop viable solutions for all sorts of problems is why I love my job. (Kanwal, 2023 grad)

I already get to work directly with company CFOs and management to help with accounting practices. (Andrew, 2023 grad)
