It gives you a fresh perspective

and the opportunity to learn from

others. That's why at KPMG we

make it easy for you to move

around both between member

firms and different functions.

International opportunities range

from short-term assignments of just

three months to long-term

assignments of one to five years,

or even a permanent move.

Opportunities vary according to the

line of business you work in and

your level of experience.

For instance, junior Auditors mayconsider a busy season assignment

for a few months. Junior Tax

professionals can take advantage of

the highly successful Tax Trek

programme, which offers a three-

month international placement.

This gives you experience with

KPMG member firms' international

clients, the opportunity to work

with colleagues from different

places and, of course, the chance

to spend some time travelling and

experiencing a different country

and people. Senior professionals

may opt for a long-term assignment

to work on a member firms global

client or help transfer knowledge

in emerging markets.

KPMG will give you all the help you

need to adjust to your new role,

from help with relocation costs to

mentoring support. This allows youto get the most out of your new

experience.

new company has one big

question theyre afraid to ask:

Am I going to have a life?

Thats because the stereotype of a

modern professional is someone

who is glued to either a mobile

phone or a laptop, making decisions

24/7, and living life from one project

to the next.

At KPMG we dont hire

stereotypes. We hire skilled

people like you, and we give them

the opportunity to excel in

an environment where its also

possible toachieve a balancebetween their personal lives and

work.

part of a vibrant, dynamic

organisation, which thrives on

working hard, but also ensures

there are plenty of opportunities for

constantly evolving, following

political and economic changes

which influence them. Taxes cross

tax that may affect their business.

challenge, enjoy researching and

analysing problems, and have skills

for communicating complex

concepts in a clear, concise manner,

then a career as a tax adviser will

give you the opportunity to use and

develop these abilities.

complex, KPMGs Tax practice

challenge is to monitor and

anticipate changes to tax

legislation and respond quickly with

advice tailored to our clients

commercial requirements.

challenging tax projects

acquisitions, tax planning,

tax litigation, etc.) whichhave provided me with

unique experiences. This is

something you cannot get
