Consulting Graduate

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.

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
