KPMG, a top fifty ideal employer and a member of the big four, says it wants to help new employees build both careers and wealth. The firm has recently increased its 401k benefit matching 75 cents on every dollar for up to 5% of all employee contributions. A work life advantage it hopes will help attract and retain new employees. KPMG is the smallest of the big four accounting firms, but like its competitors it services fortune 500 clients with tax, audit and advisory services. Headquartered in Netherlands, KPMG has roughly 100,000 employees worldwide, 20,000 of those are in the US. And it’s Manny Fernandez's job to get the KPMG name out to schools.
We are one of the top ten employers at business schools nationally. We hire approximately 3000 students off college campus every year, so that, that alone gets its big name recognition to start out with. When you start with one particular office, there’s opportunities in different industries, there’s opportunities to go international, do assignments, short term 3 months to 18 months and later on three-year assignments internationally, the opportunities are endless for our folks.
Fernandez says he and his staff like to see a 3.6 GPA and involvement in extra curricula activities, because KPMG wants smart and active employees. Like Moira Turner, a financial services associate who started as an intern.
In financial services practice, we have four practices within there. It’s real estate, banking, funds, and pensions. So, what they want you to do is deal your first year to go through three months of vocations in each of those four practices. And then at the end, you speak to your performance manager or a confidant that you have. And you pick out the firm, like the practice, you think you match well with and then hopefully a manager that you work with there says the same, and that you can specialize in that with your career going forward.
But, it’s KPMG collegial culture that Turner enjoys.
I've lived in New York my entire life, and I moved back here. I knew that I have all my friends and I really thought when I started working, it will just be the place I’ve worked. But I came here and I have made some incredible friends that when it comes to times to go out on the weekend, I found myself calling people I worked with not the people I grew up with which causes some problems with them. But it’s really wonderful that I made like a hundred friends, you know, when I started, so I think that’s just really special.
Roughly 75% of KPMG entry-level jobs are filled by interns, and the best way to get into that pipeline is through your college career services office. A KPMG rap will likely come to your school for a first round interview, then if you make it through that, you may very well fly out to New York for what they call, an inside look, a series of interviews with managers, partners, and other associates.
