Why our Deloitte FS Sydney team?

• High achievers in our FS team are rewarded and recognised:

• • Some our current FS tax partners were lateral Account Directors from other Big 4 firms and their partnership aspirations were realised within a few years of joining our FS tax team
  • We also play the ‘long game’.  We mentored one of our university FS tax summer interns all the way to Sydney FS tax partner

• Flexibility is the heart of what we do.  Everyone has different personal circumstances and preferences:

• • We believe that all roles at Deloitte can be worked in a flexible way.  We know people want the option of being able to travel overseas and work at the same time. That’s why one our account directors is currently overseas (combining a European summer holiday with a period of remote work)
  • Some want a pathway to partnership.  Others do not.  We appreciate, and fully support, both career aspirations
