E&P has offices in Sydney, Melbourne, Canberra, Brisbane, New Jersey and Hong Kong and has over $20 billion of funds under advice.

The Focus

As a provider of high-quality, market-leading financial advice for private clients, institutional clients and corporates, we value long-term client partnerships and our people are the cornerstone of those relationships – regardless of whether they have day-to-day contact with clients.

For E&P, the focus on your career and development is genuine, and our established structure supports the on-the-job learning experience you expect.  Working with us means you get to learn from and collaborate with some of the best in the business.

The Benefits

As well as an opportunity to work with an exceptional team, we’ll also help you reach the next stage of your career with paid leave and study support towards your CA / CPA qualifications.  We believe success breeds success.

The Role

If you are a recent accounting graduate with a keen interest in the financial services and wealth management industry, then we want to talk to you.   A typical day may include:

  • Preparing financial statements and tax returns for SMSFs
  • Working on rollovers, contributions, pensions and lump sums for funds
  • Liaising with third parties such as the Australian Tax Office and financial institutions

What we stand for

When it comes to our clients, our service standards are high, so you’ll be a natural when it comes to communication and building strong relationships.

You will be a high achiever with strong academic results in your undergraduate Accounting degree and attention to detail is a must.  Our environment can be fast-paced, and we work with multiple clients at any one time, so your ability to manage competing priorities is equally as important as your accounting skills.

We want to take care of you, so you can take care of our clients! Our state-of-the art offices are equipped with a selection of healthy breakfast options and each year you’ll receive an annual fitness rebate which you can use in a way that suits you.

Apart from my daily tasks, the day-to-day tasks depend on what my team and buddy is working on at the time so they can vary. As we approach Christmas I would like to be busier however understand this is a quiet time for the industry.

The tasks vary between admin work and interesting work. However there is a conscious effort among support teams to reduce the admin work-load.

Pros and cons of working at E&P Financial Group

Pros

  • The best aspect of working here is the culture.

  • Working within the team is the best part at working at E&P. The team is friendly and supportive - there is always someone available to help. I also receive regular feedback and great tips to help improve my work.

  • - Competitive graduate salary - Clear promotion criteria - Good culture.

  • - The knowledge I have gained, it has been a great learning experience - The people and company culture - Access to morning meetings where I learn more about the economy on a macro and micro level - My team's devoted efforts to ensure I take the most I can from this experience e.g. watching them conduct trades, and attending client meetings.

  • In the program, they are giving me valuable work and in-depth feedback so I can get the most out of the internship program.

Cons

    • Lots of admin work.

    • Two presentations. I can understand that the skillset is needed for the job however considering its unsettling nature I think 1 is sufficient.

    • Not many opportunities for remote work - however very positive culture inside the office.

    • As we approach Christmas I would like to be busier however understand this is a quiet time for the industry.

    • The training program is thoughtful, designed to keep the interns busy and concurrently educated. In terms of feedback, I think two presentations is excessive given the small role as an intern.
