A Career in Business Services or Audit 

We are currently seeking students who are interested in joining our Business Services and Audit teams for our 2024/25 graduate program. Our graduates are very important to us, as we recognise their potential to become our firm’s future leaders. For the right candidates, these positions provide strong pathways for career development, as part of our growing firm. 

As a Graduate in Business Services, you will have the opportunity to build a strong foundation for career progression. You will gain a solid understanding in the following areas:

· Business reporting including payroll, superannuation, GST, financial reporting and ATO deadlines

Your career development will then progress to developing taxation and business advisory expertise.  These skills will be developed through on the job training within our supportive Business Services team environment as well as formal structured learning support.

You will often be away from the office, spending time at the client’s premises, building an understanding of the client’s business, identifying potential risks, and analysing information to provide the client and their stakeholders a level of assurance on the financial statements. You will be supported in your career development with a formal structured training program and on the job mentoring.
