About the Team

Our Finance Transformation (FT) practice sits within KPMG Consulting and works shoulder‑to‑shoulder with CFOs and senior finance leaders to tackle complexity, unlock performance and enable sustainable growth.

• Data & insight – Transforming Enterprise Performance Management processes for a major health provider to enable better decision making.
• Modern workforce – Embedding finance capability uplift into advisory work, with AI and emerging technologies increasingly shaping how finance teams operate with every engagement.

If you’re looking for a team that’s ambitious, supportive and genuinely enjoyable to work with, this is a place to grow quickly, do meaningful work and have fun along the way. The team are in the office 3-4 days a week unless on client site. We enjoy heading out for a coffee and KPMG has several fantastic clubs that you can participate in (for socials, running, cycling, yoga and there is even a club for those that love tea).
