“Hi, my name is Carol Ezzeddine, and I am a third year Computer Science with Data Science student at UCD. I am currently completing my placement at KPMG in theTax department. From day one, I have received support from my manager and buddy, helping me build confidence and set a clear development plan for my career growth. What stands out the most to me at KPMG is the people. I really admire the diversity within my team; between the finance and technical sides as well as the range of academic backgrounds, I have been gaining exposure to various knowledge and perspectives that I would not encounter through my degree alone. I get to learn so much from this unique blend across industries like finance and life sciences. My experience at KPMG has also been full of memorable social experiences. I have gotten the chance to expand my network and get to know other interns and UCD alumni in various departments at KPMG. I regularly connect with them over lunch and outside work. Additionally, I frequently attend social events hosted by communities and societies. My personal favourite so far is Placement Sports Day, where we got to compete in teams against one another and bond outside the office. I look forward to attending many more events, such as the “Around the World” cultural party or the placement boat party. I cannot begin to put into words how lucky I am to grow and develop with so much support by my side. I never thought I would wake up on a Monday and feel so excited to walk into an office. Truly, thank you, KPMG, for granting me the opportunity of a lifetime.”

“Hi, I’m Elena. Since September, I have had the privilege of completing a 9-month placement with KPMG in the Tax department. During my time at KPMG, I’ve worked on a range of complex projects with a particular focus on the aviation industry, gaining valuable experience. This has involved assisting in the preparation of transfer pricing documentation, conducting benchmarking analyses, and helping clients comply with complex international tax regulations. I’ve gained a deep understanding of the intricacies of Transfer Pricing and the challenges and strategies within the sector. Being involved in strategic advisory work for global companies has further deepened my passion for international tax and advisory. This experience has significantly enhanced my technical skills and broadened my understanding of the complexities within the transfer pricing landscape. I have learned not only how to manage technical tasks but also how to communicate effectively with clients, collaborate within a team, and present findings in a clear and professional manner. What stands out most from my experience is the collaborative environment at KPMG, where I’ve had the privilege of working alongside talented professionals who have supported my growth both professionally and personally. KPMG’s inclusive culture and reputation for excellence made it an ideal choice for me. I’m excited about the knowledge I’ve gained so far and look forward to continuing this journey, furthering my professional development in this dynamic field. If you’re interested in Deal Advisory, I encourage you to explore KPMG’s Work Placement opportunities. It’s a fantastic way to gain hands-on experience in a global firm known for its commitment to innovation and professional growth.”

“Hi, I’m Anastasiia. As a part of my placement, I’ve joined the Connected Tech team in Management Consulting back in March, and even though it’s only been a short time, it’s already been such a journey.From the beginning, I was assigned to a project, focused on IT/OT advisory. The project itself hasn’t officially kicked off yet, but the biggest shout-out goes to my performance manager Devan – who I reached out after completing my mandatory online learnings, at the start of my internship. He was so welcoming to all my questions, and ever since, he’s been doing everything to get me involved, give me new tasks, share his experience, and make sure I’m learning and growing. Thanks to him, I’ve already attended several client meetings, assisted with different projects, met so many professionals and learned so much just by observing how our experienced team withing the KPMG works. It’s been an inspiring real-world learning experience that I honestly couldn’t have imagined getting this early on. I’ve also felt incredibly supported thanks to both my performance manager Gavin and my work buddy James. From the very beginning, they were the first ones to help me settle in. My Manager is always checking in with me, not just about my workflow but also how I’m doing in general, he’s been the biggest support. We have weekly catch-up calls, he makes sure I’m not overwhelmed and keeps me updated on events or opportunities available. James has been amazing from day one. He shared his own journey with me, what he’s working on now, and gave me a proper tour around so I don’t feel lost and lonely. He’s always the first one to reach out when I might need help, especially with technical stuff or quick questions. It’s just so nice knowing I have someone I can turn to without overthinking, and it makes such a difference when you’re starting something new. Applications are now open for KPMG’s Spring 2026 Work Placement Programme - apply via your placement office.
