At KordaMentha, we're known for doing things differently. And we're known for coming up with bold new ways to help clients solve their most complex commercial problems.
We help clients throughout their lifecycle. We help them grow and maximise value. We help protect them against financial loss and reputational damage. And we help them recover value in tough times.
At KordaMentha, we provide the opportunity to work on interesting and varied engagements, where no two days are the same.
By joining us as a vacationer, you will become part of a unique, creative and entrepreneurial team that works together to solve complex business problems. You will be given the opportunity to engage in a supportive environment where you're encouraged to ask "what if?" and "why not?" to find new ways to help clients grow, protect and recover value. Best of all, you'll learn from a diverse group of people while we invest in your study and training. You may only be here for a short time, but you will get exposure to a wide variety of tasks and by the end of the placement, you'll have a really good understanding of the industry and whether this is something you'd like to do as a graduate career!
Applying 'a different mindset' is at the heart of everything KordaMentha does, and it is fuelled by the diversity of our peoples' experiences and backgrounds. We are committed to enhancing diversity within the firm and celebrating differences. We work with our people to make reasonable adjustments and support their ability to thrive in a positive, barrier-free environment through the recruitment process and into the workplace.
We are currently seeking people with a different mindset to join our Data Analytics teams for our 2022/2023 vacationer intake in Perth. Placements take place over the summer from November 2022 to January 2023.
Our forensic group uncover, analyse and clarify facts at the centre of disputes, investigations and other sensitive matters. We are one of the largest teams of forensic investigators, forensic accountants and forensic technology specialists in Asia-Pacific and are regularly called on to provide evidence insensitive, high-profile disputes and investigations.
As a Data Analytics vacationer, you will assist a wide variety of teams with data analytic services including investigations, legal disputes, consulting and corporate recovery. This will involve the analysis of large data sets from various data sources including financial and operational systems.
You'll have the chance to learn from some of the best in the business and gain skills with programs you have only touched on at university.
But it's not all about work. You'll be given a buddy to help you navigate office life as you settle in. We have regular catch-ups with People and Culture to ensure you are getting the most out of your placement. We host regular events and activities, bringing together our close-knit team in a friendly and relaxed environment so you can get to know the people behind the professionals.
You will be a student in your penultimate year of study and will have:

The people and events. It's always enjoyable to see everyone in the office. Especially as a grad, it's great to have so many people around you that are willing to help out and support you.
The Office space is premium and one of the better aspects of the employer, with scenic views in the heart of the city, they could not be better.

Occasionally, you may be required to work some late nights if you have been placed on a demanding engagement.
Busyness as a grad can be very variable.
Pay is not great for some of the hours that you are required to do.
Not enough structured training content delivered to graduates in the Consulting team.
