Undergraduate Opportunities - Business Services & Audit (Rolling Intake)

About BDO

At BDO Australia, our why is ‘empowering people, realising possibilities’. One way we bring this to life is by hiring and developing exceptional talent, to deliver on our wide array of audit, tax and advisory services.

About the Role

We are currently seeking students to join our Business Services and Audit teams at BDO (NTH QLD). We understand the importance of balancing work and study, which is why our Undergraduate program is designed with flexibility in mind, allowing you to work while completing your studies.  

In Business Services you will:  

• Develop a comprehensive understanding of business reporting, including payroll, superannuation, GST, financial reporting, and ATO deadlines 
• Gain hands-on experience in supporting business owners with finance and accounting matters with a view to developing your knowledge in identifying important trends to enhance business performance.  

Upon completion of your university degree, you will transition into a Graduate role where your career will then progress to developing taxation and business advisory expertise. These skills will be developed through on-the-job training within our supportive Business Services team environment as well as through a formal structured training program.  

As an Undergraduate in Audit, you will get ‘hands on experience’ in our Financial Reporting Team and be involved in real client work. You will gain skills and understanding in the following areas: 

• Business accounting including payroll, creditors processing and preparation of monthly management accounts  
• Gain hands-on experience with industry-standard software, including training and certification in systems such as MYOB and XERO.  

Upon completion of your university degree, you will transition into a Graduate role with the Audit team. As part of the audit team, you will spend time at the client’s premises, building an understanding of the client’s business, identifying potential risks, and analysing information to provide the client and their stakeholders a level of assurance on the financial statements. You will be supported in your career development with a formal structured training program and on the job mentoring.
