Sydney

We are excited to be offering up to 20 vacation work opportunities for the 2011/12 summer period

Our Vacationers have the opportunity to experience life as a CA in a professional yet supportive environment. You are extremely important to us as you ideally will be joining the firm as a graduate upon the completion of your degree. Therefore you represent the future leaders of the firm and are the secret to our success.

Our Vacation Program

Our vacation program runs for a period of 6 weeks over January and February. During this time you will work within a division of your choice and have the chance to experience life in a chartered accounting environment.

Additionally, if you are interested in either Audit or Business Services, our vacation program can offer you the unique opportunity to rotate between 2 of our largest service lines, Audit and Private & Entrepreneurial Clients (Business Services). If you are then successful in securing a graduate opportunity for the following year, you can request your preferred division.

As well as exposure to work, we have several opportunities during the program for you to get to know the other Vacationers and BDO staff through several fun social activities. On your commencement you will also be assigned a “buddy” and Mentor Manager to support you throughout the program.
