We’ll not only help you learn the ropes, we will support you throughout your career. As every individual has different strengths and ambitions, KPMG offers you a variety of professional development programmes and resources to help you identify your strengths and achieve your goals.

Our START programme smoothes your transition from student to professional. The programme provides you with comprehensive introductory professional development to make sure you fit into the KPMG team effortlessly.

If you don’t have a finance or accounting degree, don’t worry. Our Conversion programme gives you the technical and business knowledge you need to start you on your career here at KPMG. This professional development programme will help to familiarise you with the job and our KPMG methodologies in your chosen career, whether Advisory, Audit or Tax. Indeed, this is only the beginning; we make sure you have access to professional development resources throughout your career, and especially at career milestones along the way.

Whatever your focus and wherever you work, we provide you with the support necessary to help you pass your exams first time: textbooks, training courses, reference materials, examination technique seminars, and mock exams.

At KPMG in China, we take pride in our structured professional development programmes. Our soft skills development programmes improve your business, communication and presentation skills, readying you to be a future leader. Our technical development programmes broaden your knowledge of accounting, audit, finance, operations and tax. We also help you to deepen your understanding of particular industry sectors (such as telecommunications, financial services, or consumer and industrial markets), allowing you to understand the sector’s issues, opportunities and challenges.

We have invested in the latest e-learning tools to help you develop your skills anywhere and  at anytime. Our resources include industry insight and updates, and even management skill programmes via Harvard e-learning modules.

As you progress up the ranks, our professional development programmes will also equip you with the necessary tools and skills to help you face new career challenges.

On joining the KPMG team, you will be assigned a partner to whom you can turn to for advice, direction and support. This relationship gives you direct access to KPMG’s highest level of management. At the same time, you will be assigned a buddy – usually a previous graduate hire – who will help you settle in at KPMG with day-to-day advice and guidance.

This coaching tradition will continue throughout your career. You will always have access to a mentor or career coach, giving you practical support and advice.

We want to ensure that you work in an inspiring and stimulating environment. We offer internal transfer opportunities so you can pursue new areas of practice, or work in a new location.
