Interns with KPMG help teams get through the busiest seasons. The interviewers want to know that you are aware of the expectations placed on a KPMG Intern. The environment is supportive, and KPMG will provide you with incredible opportunities; however, the work is challenging and demanding.
According to past Interns, some of the most common tasks you will be accountable for include:
- Completing confirmations
- Financial statement tie-outs
- Supporting the engagement team
- Working overtime
This list is just a sample of the multiple accountabilities you will have during your KPMG internship. Express your awareness of your responsibilities, and be sure to show enthusiasm for this opportunity.

"As a busy season Intern, I am aware the I will often be working overtime in full support of the team. I have reached out to former KPMG Interns, and the responsibilities mentioned the most include completing confirmations and helping with financial statement tie-outs. I understand that completion confirmations require keen business administration and organizational skills. As a KPMG Intern, I may also be spending time tying out the footnotes and disclosures in financial statements. To succeed in this task, I will offer incredible attention to detail and showcase excellent time management skills. I also expect there will be a great focus on helping the engagement team. For instance, I might order meals and snacks for the team while they focus on their work late in the day or even in the early morning hours. This responsibility means listening to the preferences of others and ensuring that I quickly meet their needs. I am certainly up for the challenge and am excited to learn more about what it's like to be a busy season Intern for KPMG."
