Different Mindset. Different Opportunity.

At KordaMentha, we're known for doing things differently. And we're known for coming up with bold new ways to help clients solve their most complex commercial problems.

We help clients throughout their lifecycle. We help them grow and maximise value. We help protect them against financial loss and reputational damage. And we help them recover value in tough times.

At KordaMentha, we provide the opportunity to work on interesting and varied engagements, where no two days are the same.

By joining us a graduate, you will become part of a unique, creative and entrepreneurial team that works together to solve complex business problems. You will be given the opportunity to engage in a supportive environment where you're encouraged to ask "what if?" and "why not?" to find new ways to help clients grow, protect and recover value. Best of all, you'll learn from a diverse group of people while we invest in your study and training.

Applying 'a different mindset' is at the heart of everything KordaMentha does, and it is fuelled by the diversity of our peoples' experiences and backgrounds. We are committed to enhancing diversity within the firm and celebrating differences. We work with our people to make reasonable adjustments and support their ability to thrive in a positive, barrier-free environment through the recruitment process and into the workplace.

Your opportunity: Forensic Technology

We are currently seeking people with a different mindset to join our Forensic Technology team for our 2023 graduate intake in Perth.

Our forensic group uncover, analyse and clarify facts at the centre of disputes, investigations and other sensitive matters. We are one of the largest teams of forensic investigators, forensic accountants and forensic technology specialists in Asia-Pacific and are regularly called on to provide evidence in sensitive, high-profile disputes and investigations.

Our forensic technology group helps to identify, preserve, analyse and present electronic evidence to assist in investigations and disputes. Whether it be imaging personal computers, servers or mobile phones, or perhaps investigating a cyber hack, we quickly identify the facts. Our work often involves explaining difficult and complex concepts to our clients, often in a report or presentation, so we are looking for applicants with great written skills as well as a keen interest in technology.

What you'll be doing

As a graduate of our forensic technology group, you'll work as part of a diverse team and will learn the specialist skills and methodologies to become an expert in digital forensic and forensic discovery. While no two days will be the same, you can expect to:

  • work in a high tech forensic laboratory using cutting-edge equipment
  • conduct forensic imaging of computers and other electronic devices (e.g. flash media, smartphones) to find and secure evidence
  • conduct digital aspects of investigations alongside our expert investigators
  • research new opportunities and assist with the preparation of proposals
  • attend training courses to keep up to date with industry-leading software
  • attend events and other marketing activities

But it's not all about work. You'll be given a buddy to help you navigate office life as you settle in. You'll choose a mentor who will help guide your career. We host regular events and activities, bringing together our close-knit team in a friendly and relaxed environment so you can get to know the people behind the professionals. You'll also become a member of Accelerate, our young professionals' networking group.

You can also make a positive difference in your community through regular charity and industry events. Whether it's volunteering at local food rescue venues or participating in a stair challenge or bike rides to raise money for children's charities, you can get involved and give back.

About you

You will be a recent graduate or student in your final year of study and will have:

  • an IT, computer science or law degree with strong academic results.
  • excellent analytical and technical skills, with an ability to think outside the box.
  • strong written skills.
  • great communication skills and enjoy working in a team.
  • eligibility to live and work in Australia (Australian citizens and permanent residents only).

I have been on a voluntary administration since the start of my role in the statutory, cash flow and creditor correspondence streams for the most part. Much of my role is administrative and all my outputs are checked by at least one level of management.

Pros and cons of working at KordaMentha

Pros

  • Opportunities to grow and learn. Smaller compared to big 4. Heavy access to senior leadership. Opportunities to get involved in building business/strategy. CA classes paid for.

  • The people and events. It's always enjoyable to see everyone in the office. Especially as a grad, it's great to have so many people around you that are willing to help out and support you.

  • The Office space is premium and one of the better aspects of the employer, with scenic views in the heart of the city, they could not be better.

  • Company is quite social and flat culturally. You can talk to senior people comfortably. Nothing toxic or negative. People are generally highly professional and sociable.

  • Managers are exceptionally talented individuals with a willingness to both learn and help, praise and recognition are given.

Cons

    • Team is still building to have the right middle management/procedures/training in place for grads/trainees.

    • Occasionally, you may be required to work some late nights if you have been placed on a demanding engagement.

    • Busyness as a grad can be very variable.

    • Pay is not great for some of the hours that you are required to do.

    • Not enough structured training content delivered to graduates in the Consulting team.
