What is Finance?

The Finance team works with organisations to transform their finance function to become more adaptable, insightful and cost-effective by unlocking the power of technology. We support businesses to achieve cost optimisation and efficiencies through the use of shared services, intelligent automation, more effective planning, budgeting and forecasting.

We assist clients to incorporate benchmarking as a business performance management tool to help understand how their organisation is performing against its peers. You’ll help finance align more closely with other internal functions for business planning and strategic decisions, promoting a strong partnership between finance and the business.

Your career journey in Finance

As a graduate, you’ll be part of our 12-month graduate development program that has been developed for graduates in all service lines, and is focused on connection, learning and celebration.

The program will provide you with the opportunity to network with your peers from other service lines and geographies. Running in parallel to your technical learning, you will develop leadership skills to become a successful graduate, and as you grow as a transformative leader.

As a vacationer, after our company induction, you’ll start developing an understanding of how our Finance teams work and will be ready to work alongside teams on real client projects. You’ll meet other new vacationers from your office.

Your buddy and your counsellor will help you learn your way around the organisation, set your goals and plan your development while you’re here. You'll be well looked after with ongoing learning throughout the Vacationer Program with sessions facilitated by our Learning and Development team, Campus Recruitment team and service line specific training. The Vacationer Program is a great way to gain valuable audit experience, skills and networks to start building your career.

I started as a graduate in 2016 and stay because of the incredible learning and growth opportunities I have received. Every day in Consulting, you’re presented with an exciting new challenge and an opportunity to think outside of the box, which I enjoy.
