Careers start with care. As a William Buck Graduate, we will nurture and grow your skills and confidence with focused Learning and Development programs, and a fun and collaborative team culture. You will be valued for what you bring, encouraged to discover your interests, shape your own career path, and be excited for your future.

At William Buck, we’re big enough to challenge the Big 4 on the complexity of work, but small enough that you’ll get to work one-on-one with your Partners – they’ll know your name, celebrate your birthday, and take a keen interest in helping you achieve your ambitions and career goals.

Additional benefits that our graduates enjoy are our employee reward and discount program, two days of CSR leave, lunchtime netball and futsal, monthly massage day, breakfast club, and regular social events.

What does a Graduate position at William Buck look like?

  • A permanent position within the division you are offered.
  • A comprehensive L&D program consisting of both structured training sessions and on-the-job training, supported from day 1 by your dedicated buddy.
  • Exposure across a diverse range of clients and industries
  • Regular social events, volunteering, and networking opportunities.
  • Connecting with peers from across Australia & NZ at “Grad College”.

Progression beyond your Graduate year.

  • After 12 months you will be promoted to an Intermediate Accountant.
  • You will be supported through the Chartered Accountants (CA) Program both financially and through technical training sessions, mentorship, study resources, peer workgroups, and up to 3 days study leave per module.
  • The opportunity to undertake a secondment with an overseas firm in our Praxity alliance.

We are seeking Accounting Graduates to join our Audit & Assurance division, commencing January 2025.
Our Auditors are often out at client’s premises conducting external audits of their organisation. An audit can provide assurance to a financial report for the stakeholders involved. Audit can also include risk management whereby programs are integrated into a business’ operational processes to improve overall performance. A successful Auditor is at the forefront of legislative, compliance and financial reporting requirements and plays an integral role in the future success of our clients' business.

What do you need to be successful?

  • The mindset to treat each day as a learning opportunity.
  • A passion for client services and relationship building.
  • A willingness to have a go and give it your best.
  • You will be a final year undergraduate student, or recent graduate, with a major in Accounting (or a major in a related field and a keen interest in pursuing a career in accounting).

What happens next?

  1. Apply: Fill out the online application, attaching your resume and transcript.
  2. Video Interview with a HR representative & Online Assessment.
  3. Face-to-face Interview: You will be invited to interview with a Partner and Manager.

Pros and cons of working at William Buck

Pros

  • The best thing about working at William Buck is the other people you work with. Everybody in the office greets you with a smile and genuinely wants to get to know you.

  • The workplace culture of William Buck has been extremely positive in my short time with the firm. Everyone is positive, upbeat, and happy to help or engage where appropriate.

  • "I believe that in terms of learning, William Buck is hard to match, and I am very satisfied with what I have been taught and trained.

  • My managers are very accessible, friendly and great at teaching. As dictated by the nature our work processes, we engage heavily with our managers, enabling more opportunities for learning and development as well as general bonding. Feedback is generally constructive with the ultimate aim of teaching instead of reprimanding.

  • here is a clear progression map from when you start... merit is rewarded and that the effort employees put into their work do not go unrecognized or unnoticed.

Cons

    • Hours can be long and sometimes it’s hard to disconnect, but that is more of an industry thing rather than specific to WB.

    • The only real problem I have encountered so far is tech issues.

    • Being a grad means no flexibility to work from home until after the probation period.

    • After-hours work is limited only to the busy season (though recently I have stayed back more than usual to get projects out to clients).

    • There does sometimes feel as though there is a lack of processes and frameworks in place, but it also gives room for initiative and freedom.
