“Being a graduate at William Buck is an exciting and rewarding experience. It’s easy to meet your fellow colleagues due to activities like Grad College, team lunches, and firm-wide events. Furthermore, despite navigating the challenges of working from home, the ongoing support shown by William Buck through weekly catch-ups and team activities ensured that every graduate felt valued and a part of the team. I look forward to continuing my career journey at William Buck and I am excited to have the opportunity to meet more clients and expand my knowledge of accounting”.
– Eve O’Connor, Melbourne office
“It’s really good that even as graduates we are exposed to all different levels of work if we are keen. Moreover I really appreciate the fact that we get guidance directly from the directors here at William Buck.
I really enjoyed my work at William Buck as a grad last year as even though the borders were closed, I got the chance to travel a lot around WA for different audits. I am looking forward to the next level of work and be more comfortable and confident in doing work which the intermediates and seniors mostly do.”
