By starting your career at Deloitte, you are joining a community of extraordinary professionals who put ‘making an impact’ at the heart of what they do. With our global reach, unwavering support, inclusive atmosphere, and cutting-edge technology, you'll have the opportunity to evolve into your fullest potential.
A Graduate role at Deloitte is the perfect introduction to your first full-time permanent role in a business. You start with a cohort of people just like you, who have recently completed their studies, and get hands-on experience and support to apply your tertiary learnings in a real-world context. People at Deloitte are the best at what they do and learning from high-performers is a fantastic way to kickstart your growth and career.
Graduates at Deloitte have a week-long induction to learn about the business, get paired with a buddy and coach to help them find their place in the team, and build connections with almost 200 other graduates doing the exact same thing! You are not on a ‘programme’ and instead inducted into the business as a key member of the team from day one.
Once you sign your contract with Deloitte, you will start in February the year following. Between the application process and your start-date, we have many events and touchpoints so you feel part of the Deloitte whānau before your first day and are greeted with friendly faces.
If you are interested in pursuing a professional qualification, Deloitte support this through paid study leave, subsidised courses, and training from senior members of the team. There are also many learning and development opportunities offered to our graduates outside of the professional qualification realm.
About this role:
Refine your accounting knowledge to become a natural problem-solver and best advise businesses on how to reduce financial risks. Provide stakeholders with confidence and trust in their financial statements – proving they are accurate and free from misinformation.
Assurance and Advisory are a large team across New Zealand comprising of almost 400 Accountants and senior finance professionals.
The team works in project groups of between 4-10 people depending on the client size. These change throughout the year, so you get to work with a range of like-minded people and learn from others.
Your typical day will include:
- Working closely with clients and colleagues to review NZ IFRS financial statements
- Reviewing client controls and processes around financial information
- Reporting and working on behalf of the Auditor General
- Considering risks in relation to fraud
- Helping businesses measure and report on their sustainability initiatives
