Editors’ Address
On behalf of the Financial Management Association of Australia, welcome to the 2019 FMAA Careers
Guide. This publication aims to help educate and inform you, the next generation of Australia’s
business sector, of the FMAA, its opportunities, and our sponsors.

Spread across financial, professional, consulting and other services, our sponsors have kindly provided
you with snapshots into their companies.This information includes what the firms are like, internship
and graduate application opportunities and dates, and profiles on current employees.

The Careers Guide also contains information about FMAA keynote events and competitions. Advice
about writing resumes, undergoing internships, and the many career paths that our sponsors offer
can be found within the guide.

To get the most out of your FMAA membership, we strongly encourage you to read through this
Careers Guide, attend our events, and compete in our competitions throughout the year.

Finally, we would like to thank our sponsors and their support for making this Careers Guide possible.

Thank you for taking your time to read the 2019 FMAA Careers Guide.

Presidents’ Address
In today’s digital age and competitive environment, a tertiary education is more than just lectures
and exams. Students will inevitably devote a great deal of time to identifying future employment
prospects through avenues made available to them at university.

Now in its 29th year of operation, the Financial Management Association of Australia (FMAA) remains
committed to guiding its student members towards making an efficient transition from university
to the workforce. At its most basic level, the FMAA operates to introduce motivated students to
prospective employers. Today, we offer more than just the introduction; we invite students to ask
questions, develop their networking skills, cultivate an understanding for life in finance, professional
services, asset management and consulting through case competitions, and give them access to some
of the country’s, and the world’s, most efficient business institutions.

Since our inception in Melbourne in 1990, the FMAA has become the largest professionally focused
student organisation in Australia, encompassing the University of Melbourne, the University of Sydney,
the University of New South Wales, the University of Queensland and Monash University.With more
than 5,500 members nationally, the FMAA strives to provide its members with a distinct advantage in
today’s highly competitive job market.

As an FMAA member, you will be invited to an array of exclusive networking opportunities where you
can forge relationships with both firm representatives and like-minded students. Your involvement
with the FMAA will distinguish you from other candidates and serve as a solid foundation to build
upon as you enter the workforce. As such, FMAA membership is an invaluable asset for students
who are eager to find out about the myriad of opportunities in the Australian business community.
We strive not only to help students, but also assist our Sponsors in finding the best talent and the
best fit for their organisation. We encourage you to become an active FMAA member and take full
advantage of the many resources provided to you.

On behalf of the FMAA, we would like to thank our Gold and Founding Sponsor, Macquarie Group,
for their extensive support and assistance over the last twenty nine years. In addition, we also extend
our sincere thanks to the 40+ FMAA’s National and State Sponsors for their continued support.
We also thank our Board of Directors, and the Faculties and Business Schools which accommodate
the FMAA at the Universities of Melbourne, Monash, Sydney, New South Wales and Queensland.
We appreciate your continued effort and co-operation, guiding us with your extensive expertise in
academia which has assisted us in achieving continual improvement.

Finally, we wish our student members all the best with their future endeavours! We would like to
thank you for contributing your unique talent and skills towards the FMAA through your engagement
with us.

Kristian Bjarnason, President, University of Melbourne Oliver Darwin, President, University of Queensland
Annie Wang, President, University of Sydney Rivi Prathapasinghe, Co-President, Monash University

Board’s Address
The FMAA Board of Directors would like to welcome you to the 2019 Careers Guide.

This organisation was founded in 1990 on the principle that we ourselves weren’t well established
in professional networks, increasing the difficulty of us forging our own career pathways. As such, we
established the FMAA as a forum to help not only us, but also our members in meeting potential
employers and forging their own career pathways.

Fast forward ahead to over 29 years in operation, and we are proud to announce that these
opportunities for our members are greater than ever.This is through giving our members the chance
to first build analytical and networking skills through extracurricular activities and professional
development sessions, and then put these in practice at our annual, keynote networking functions.

In this new age, having the technical skillset in the workforce is simply not enough. Every day, more
and more employers are looking for the soft skills and attitudes found by those actively participating
in extracurricular organisations and activities throughout their university life.

Thus, the Board of Directors strongly encourages you to become an FMAA member and to actively
seek to differentiate yourself in the future job market.

Best of luck with 2019, and we look forward to hearing of your success.

Yours sincerely on behalf of the FMAA Board of Directors

Who Are We?
Our History
The Financial Management Association of Australia was established in 1990 at the University of Melbourne.
The FMAA actively promotes the career awareness of students and facilitates their involvement in business
related activities, with the support of the Universities at which we operate and our Gold and Founding
Sponsor, Macquarie Group.

As an independent student body, the FMAA works closely with the Business/Commerce faculties at each
of its university branches. Since its inception, the FMAA has grown to become one of the most dynamic
and enthusiastically supported student bodies on campus. Since its national expansion to The University
of Sydney in 1994, The University of Queensland in 1995, The University of New South Wales in 2009, and
Monash University in 2012, the FMAA has built a strong reputation for facilitating career pathways with a
sense of professionalism.

The FMAA attributes their growing success to the Board of Directors, Sponsor Firms and its student
members, which comprises of over 5,500 members nationally. The continued cause of the FMAA which
holds the welfare and professional development of its members as its focus has been integral in its growth
and establishment of the Association as the largest professionally focused student organisation in Australia.

Our Mission
“To become Australia’s most relevant and rewarding Association for students and graduates in business
related fields”

Our Objectives
1. To foster the development of Australia’s future business and community leaders;
2. To develop the professional skills of our members;
3. To enhance the employability of our members; and
4. To provide a forum for the interaction between members and their potential employers.

Our Events
The FMAA hosts a large variety of events throughout the year that cater to our member base including
Corporate Cocktails, Down-to-Business Luncheon, Financial Services Evening, Professional Services
Evening, Women in Business Evening, STEM Alternate Pathways Evening, First Year Fundamentals, and
the Leadership Forum.

In addition, firm-specific events and information sessions are held throughout the year in sync with
key recruitment periods to give students in-depth knowledge of the firms. This is not only beneficial
to students looking to apply for internships and graduate positions, but also to students in the earlier
stages of their degree who wish to learn more about the opportunities available to them in the
future.

Corporate Cocktails
Corporate Cocktails is the first major FMAA event each year. Corporate Cocktails is a formal
networking function that serves as an unparalleled information gathering opportunity, promoting
industry awareness among students and allowing them to engage with representatives from firms
throughout the evening in a relaxed manner. Our members mingle with industry professionals and
sponsor firms in a non-competitive, social setting where canapés and beverages are served.The event
is aimed primarily at final year students looking to apply for graduate positions at our sponsor firms,
as well as penultimate year students who are applying for internships later in the year.

Down-to-Business Luncheon
The Down-to-Business Luncheon is the largest professional and formal event hosted by a student
association in Australia and is aimed primarily at promoting internship opportunities at our sponsor
firms.

The event commences with a sit-down, two-course luncheon. Each sponsor firm is allocated one
table, comprising of representatives from the sponsor firm and students who have indicated an
interest in that firm. Sponsors are also able to nominate criteria for students to be seated at their
table, which further ensures that both students and sponsors are getting value out of this event.

After the first course, students rotate to a different sponsor table to give them a chance to speak
with another firm and to give sponsors the opportunity to meet more prospective applicants.

The Luncheon has a reputation of being one of a kind in that it facilitates high levels of interaction
between career-minded students and prospective employers. Our members can delve deeper into
issues specific to the firm of their choice and at the same time, the firms can come to know individual
applicants in a non-interview setting.

Our Events
Overall, the Down-to-Business Luncheon provides our members with an unparalleled level of
interaction and exposure to the best employers in the accounting, finance and wider business
industries.

Financial Services Evening


The Financial Services Evening (‘FSE’) is an information-gathering and informal networking event
which is strategically timed to assist students in the internship application processes and increase
students’ awareness in the financial services industry.

The Financial Services Evening is unique in that it is structured as a series of two panel discussions
featuring both junior and senior representatives from our sponsor firms.The panel answers questions
submitted by the attending students, providing insights into the industry as a whole as well as individual
firm culture. The FSE is an invaluable opportunity to network with employers of the highest calibre
who have an eye out for keen and interested students in finance.

Professional Services Evening


Similar to the FSE, the Professional Services Evening (‘PSE’) is an informal information gathering and
networking event focused on the professional services industry.

The term ‘accounting’ is somewhat misleading when it comes to describing the services these
firms offer. The PSE aims to highlight the fact that firms such as the Big 4 provide areas of advice
beyond accounting, and that they, alongside mid-tier firms, offer plenty of opportunities in such areas.
Advisory, tax consulting and risk management are some examples that extend the array of services
offered by these firms.

The PSE involves division and industry-specific presentations from professionals in this sector. In
addition, specific advice will be provided on the application process as well as the opportunity to
network with potential employers and other equally motivated students.

Women in Business Evening


The Women in Business Evening is an information gathering and informal networking event that aims
to encourage more women to consider a career in business by showcasing the inclusive environment
and diverse career options available in the business sector.

The evening features a junior panel and a senior panel discussion amongst representatives from our

PAGE 11 | FMAA CAREERS GUIDE 2019


Our Events
sponsors.This is followed by a networking session to provide students with an exclusive opportunity
to ask more specific questions tailored to interests, with a focus on gender diversity.

With the industry challenging stereotypes and promoting gender diversity more than ever, this event
seeks to not only address the challenges women are currently facing but also demonstrate the
progress that has already been achieved, in order to champion shared interests in empowering
women.

STEM Alternate Pathways Evening


The STEM Alternate Pathways Evening is an informational event for students from a science,
technology, engineering or maths background to explore the career opportunities available to them
in finance, consulting and professional services.

The evening features a panel of STEM background representatives from diverse industries, engaging
in a question and answer session aimed at providing students with insight into the application of
STEM degrees within the business world. This discussion is followed by an opportunity for students
to network with these representatives and ask specific questions tailored to individual interests.

The technological revolution has transformed the world of business and has seen a rise in employment
opportunities for individuals from a diverse range of disciplines.The STEM Alternate Pathways Evening
seeks to showcase the existence of these opportunities to students from a STEM background and
to encourage a consideration of a potential future in business.

First Year Fundamentals


First Year Fundamentals (FYF) is an informational event catered towards first-year students with a
primary focus on increasing their understanding of the opportunities available to them both during

Our Events
and after university. A panel of experienced students with unique educational backgrounds discuss
topics such as prospective careers and industries, internship applications, and advice on how to
succeed in university, as well as insights into what students can do to prepare for life after university.

The event seeks to assist first year students in completing their transition into university by increasing
their understanding of the range of opportunities available to them to in university, as well as to
encourage a consideration of their plans and goals for the future.

Leadership Forum
The Leadership Forum is an information gathering and informal networking event that aims to instil
the importance of all forms of diversity in the professional world to our members.

The event features a question and answer panel of industry leaders that share their experiences on
establishing themselves as leaders in business and embracing diversity at all levels in the workplace.
This discussion is followed by a networking session amongst our attending sponsors and members
to provide students with an opportunity to ask further questions.

In line with societal changes, the industry is evolving to embrace diversity in its employee composition
and preference.The Leadership Forum seeks to provide students with insight into the ways businesses
in the industry have mirrored societal changes within their workplace, to further instil a passion for
inclusion and the promotion of diversity within the next generation of industry leaders.

Our Competitions
Management Consulting Competition
The FMAA Management Consulting Case Competition (‘MCCC’) is a cross campus competition
allowing our members the exclusive opportunity to face model strategic challenges and managerial
dilemmas, and provide their insights and solutions as a consultant.

Participating in teams of two to four members, contestants receive a case study which requires
students to provide recommendations in order to overcome a real life business problem. In order to
succeed, contestants must construct a well designed presentation and provide logical and thorough
analysis rigorously supported by data.

The competition is conducted as follows:

• All registered teams are granted approximately 10 days to research and construct their
presentation. Upon conclusion, teams submit an Executive Summary, slide pack and financial
analysis to the FMAA.
• Senior members of the FMAA Executive Committee at each campus read through the submissions
and consequently decide upon the best 10 teams. These teams progress through to the Campus
Heats, where they present to a panel of representatives from our Sponsored firms and Faculty
members.

This panel judges the teams and determines the Campus Winner. The Campus Winners proceed
through to the National Final, where the victor is crowned National Champion and awarded the
FMAA National Prize.

PAGE 14 | FMAA CAREERS GUIDE 2019


Our Competitions
Asset Management Competition
The FMAA Asset Management Case Competition (AMCC) is a cross-campus competition which
allows our members to apply their knowledge to an exclusive asset management case. Members
work together in teams of two to four people where they will be able to act as asset managers, they
must form a well researched and clearly structured investment strategy to act in the best interests
of their clients.

The competition is conducted as follows:

1. All registered teams will have approximately 5 days to research the case and form their investment
strategy. Teams will then submit an executive summary outlining their investment decisions, as
well as a slide deck.
2. Senior FMAA representatives will read through the submissions and decide which teams will
progress to the campus heats. These teams will present to judges from our sponsor firms who
will select the campus winners.
3. Campus winners will then compete at the state finals, which coincides with our keynote event

granted a unique prize.

Some of the other competitions organised and/or promoted by the FMAA includes:
• CFA Institute Global Equities Research Challenge
• Cornell Real Estate Competition
• UBS Investment Banking Challenge

PAGE 15 | FMAA CAREERS GUIDE 2019


Writing a Resume
Your resume is the first impression that you will give to a potential employer. So make it clear, concise
and relevant.

You should take the time to research the organisation and the position that you are applying for.This
will enable you to link the skills and experiences from your time at university as a student, and any
other employment, volunteer work, memberships and involvement in groups or bodies.

Try not to use the same resume for every job that you apply for. Tailor it for each different position
and company. Doing this will help you stand out for all the right reasons. Your resume is where you
show that you have the required skills, knowledge and qualifications that are needed for the position.

Page 1 of your resume should reflect the most relevant information pertaining to the job. As you
head towards completion of your degree, details of your education and industry related experience
will be of most interest to the potential employer.

List your education in reverse chronological order. If you received any outstanding marks, be sure to
include these. If not, there is no need to list them as companies often request a copy of your academic
transcript which will contain this information. If you did well in a particular subject and are applying
for a related role, then make sure the potential employer is aware of your mark.

Be sure to list your work experience and employment history in reverse chronological order. For
each position, describe your duties and any achievements by beginning each point with an action verb
(e.g. formulated, identified, solved, and accomplished, managed, assisted etc). Remember to keep to
the point and stress what you have achieved. Any industry related work experience you have could
have a separate heading.

Employers also value evidence of skills that you have developed. These could include the following
and should be addressed in the ‘Skills summary’ section of your resume:

• Communication
• Team work
• Self management
• Planning
• Analytical abilities
• Initiative
• Flexibility

You should include evidence of how you possess and utilise some of these skills by using relevant
examples. Merely listing skills with no evidence is meaningless for employers. Remember this is the
section that should contain the skills that the employer has specifically identified as being important
and should be different for each application.

PAGE 16 | FMAA CAREERS GUIDE 2019


Writing a Resume
Another heading to include in your resume that may be relevant is ‘voluntary and community work’.
Employers value people who are worldly and culturally aware and willing to contribute to the greater
community. Furthermore, if you are a member/student member of any professional associations,
mention this on your resume as it demonstrates your interest and commitment to your chosen field.
You may or may not include a list of your ‘interests and hobbies’ – it’s a personal choice. Employers
are usually interested in you as a person and this section could add another dimension.

Lastly, you will need to include a section with details of potential referees. List their name, position
title, organisation and contact details. Referees should have witnessed your capabilities in a working
environment.

It is acceptable to write ‘available upon request’ if you don’t have up to date details, but bear in mind
you will need to provide the details if employers are serious about employing you. Always ensure
you speak to your referees before listing their contact details.

Quick tips:

• Size 10, 11 or 12 font in Arial, Calibri or Times New Roman are good choices
• Triple check the grammar and spelling
• Be consistent with formatting – use clear headings and bullet points, ensuring they match up
• Choose an easy- to- read layout and make sure there is plenty of ‘white space’ on the page
• Be concise and use relevant examples
• Write content in the third person – no ‘I’ or ‘we’

Financial Services
At its core, the crux of Australia’s Financial Services Industry facilitates the flow of funds between
sectors, companies and people. Major players of this industry include commercial banks, investment
banks, brokerage firms and insurance companies.With this field representing one of Australia’s leading
employers, opportunities presented to graduates are endless, as they are able to enter into a multitude
of divisions including retail banking, financial markets, financial planning and solution providers. Key
employers include financial institutions such as asset and fund managers, as well as investment and
commercial banks. These financial institutions provide career opportunities to students that expand
on a global scale.With its expansive network and powerful impact, the Financial Services Industry will
provide students with a highly rewarding career.

Investment Banking
Investment Banks exist to provide high quality advice to large multinational institutions, governments
and individuals to meet their clients’ financial goals. Traditionally, investment banks differ from
commercial banks in that they do not engage in retail deposits or lending services. However, some
investment banks do interrelate with commercial banks to form a multi-industry company. Although
investment banks deliver a diverse range of financial products, some areas of focus include mergers
and acquisitions advisory, capital raising, sales and trading, investment management and investment
research.

Mergers and Acquisitions


Mergers and Acquisitions advisory is concerned with the provision of advice on transactions that
may alter the ownership structure of a client’s organisation. Although the terms “mergers” and
“acquisitions” are generally referenced together, they are different concepts. A merger occurs when
two firms combine to create a single, new firm; and an acquisition involves one entity (the acquirer)
purchasing another entity (the target).

Providing such advice is only possible once certain processes are completed, such as valuation
(generating a value for the target to ensure that the acquirer pays the optimum price for the company),
due diligence (analysing the possibility of factors that may impact the acquisition and thus alter the
target’s value) and third party negotiation with opposing advisors and lawyers.

Capital Raising
The Capital Raising and Mergers and Acquisition advisory division work closely together as the
acquisition of a company will require clients to raise additional capital to fund the transaction.
Investment banks raise capital from two markets: the equity capital market (ECM) and the debt
capital market (DCM). In the ECM, capital can be generated via initial public offerings, dividend
reinvestments plans and rights issues. On the other hand, DCM allows capital to be raised using

PAGE 18 | FMAA CAREERS GUIDE 2019


Financial Services
methods such as bond issuance, notes and commercial paper.

Investment banks may also raise capital through a method called security underwriting. This involves
investment banks acting as an intermediary between the client and investors, by purchasing their
client’s newly issued securities and selling it to prospective investors at a higher price. In consideration
for accepting the risk that the market to investors is unsuccessful, the investment bank will retain the
profits earned from the difference in sale price and the cost price of the securities purchased from
their client.

Sales and Trading


Sales and Trading involves purchasing and selling securities such as shares, bonds, and currencies on
behalf of clients and the investment bank itself.The sales team is concerned with attracting customers
and ensuring that the bank stays up to date with the constantly changing market. The trading team
aims to buy and sell securities at the ideal price. Typical clients include institutional investors such
as hedge funds, superannuation funds and other banks. Recent commentary, however, suggests that
direct proprietary trading is losing its prominence in investment banks. The investment bank may
also act as an agent, principal, broker and market maker to coordinate transactions between private
investors, institutions and the firm.

Investment Management
The Investment Management division aims to maximize capital gains or to create a source of stable
income.These objectives are achieved by investing in a range of assets such as hedge funds, real assets,
fixed income securities and equities.This division must balance their client’s risk tolerance with their
investment objectives to devise a suitable asset mix. After the creation of the portfolio, the investment
management division is required to periodically track movements in the investment to ensure that it
remains aligned with the client’s objectives.

Investment Research
The Investment Research division provides financial information to both clients and other divisions
within the bank, to help them make informed decisions about their future conduct.

Financial reports may include trading history and previous trends, future industry developments, and
financial disclosures. This information is used to create financial models to predict future cash flows
and in turn, the estimated value of a security. Due to the ever changing nature of financial information,
reports and recommendations will need to be frequently reviewed and updated.

Research divisions are categorised into equity and fixed income research groups. Each group will
further subdivide into different sectors and research related securities. While monitoring securities

PAGE 19 | FMAA CAREERS GUIDE 2019


Financial Services
is timeconsuming, researchers will gain a deeper understanding and greater expertise in specific
financial areas.

Commercial Banking
Known for its strength and resilience during the 2008-2009 financial crisis, Australia’s retail banking
industry has proved to be a crucial service in fostering economic growth through its provision of
financial credit. Clients range from small to large businesses, individuals and private clients.

Business & Corporate Banking


When dealing with clients, retail banks will provide them with banking services such as loans and
transactional services. Related services can include personal wealth management for owners,
directors and other high net worth individuals and protecting them against future losses.

Institutional Banking
Aimed towards a retail bank’s largest corporate and government clients, institutional banking includes
services providing access to equity capital markets and debt capital markets, as well as merger and
acquisition advisory.

Markets
This department is responsible for all of the activities associated with financial markets.This includes
stockbroking services and hedging client exposures to certain markets such as interest rates, currency
and commodities. In some banks, Institutional Banking and Markets are referred to as a single division.
The activities of these departments can often be similar to those of Investment Banking divisions.

Wealth, Financial Planning & Insurance


Retail banks provide a range of services to customers with the main goal of growing and protecting
wealth, as well as providing general insurance for items such as property and income.

Retail Banking
As the most visible function of retail banks, it involves providing retail customers with savings and
transactional accounts, mortgages, personal loans, debit cards and credit cards. This department will

PAGE 20 | FMAA CAREERS GUIDE 2019


Financial Services
include teams in branches, call centres and support office staff. Almost every person will have to deal
with retail banking departments for their personal financial needs.

Non-Customer Facing Departments


Risk: Risk is responsible for estimating a bank’s risk in the other departments. Transactions and
activities from the other departments usually need to gain approval from the risk department before
they are completed.

Strategy: Strategy monitors and controls business processes and performance. It formulates strategies
to improve these processes to achieve optimal outcomes for the bank. It can be thought of as the
bank’sown internal consulting division.

Accounting: The accounting department is responsible for monitoring, managing and improving
a retail bank’s financial accounts with the overall goal of maximising customer and shareholder
satisfaction.

Furthermore, they ensure the bank is complying with external audit requirements.

Anonymous Internship Review
Financial Services (Investment Banking)
Did you enjoy your intern experience?
Overall it was a great experience. Stepping into a new office in an industry renowned for a challenging
and fast-paced work environment was initially daunting, however I quickly found everyone was
welcoming, and always happy to share knowledge. I particularly enjoyed spending time with my intern
cohort, whether that be burning the midnight oil on projects or going for daily walks and coffees.

What was your first impression?


The first (and correct) impression was that people are very busy! For a long time, I felt like a bit of a
liability, asking questions to analysts who had a lot on their plate. I found that despite this everyone
was happy to help, and that the best way to learn and become a better team member was to keep
asking lots of questions.

Was your internship in line with expectations?


Broadly yes, as I’d put a lot of time into networking, and researching into whether corporate advisory
was the right career for me. The one thing that surprised me was how much training and effort that
went into the interns.

What was the best piece of advice you received?


Speak up - whether it be having a work-related question or about having no capacity for more work
(or too much capacity).

It’s quite intimidating to do this as an intern as there’s a compulsion to do as much as possible


without bugging the team, however the team always prefers open communication - particularly in
cases where deadlines must be met.

Do you have any advice for recruitment?


Preparation. As obvious as it sounds, the majority of candidates are underprepared for questions,
when all it takes is ~4 days of cramming. Preparation will give you the best chance of getting a
competitive intern role.

Additionally, take the opportunity to network as much as possible. Not only will this help when it
comes to interviews, it will give you a good understanding of different firm cultures.

PAGE 22 | FMAA CAREERS GUIDE 2019


Anonymous Internship Review
Financial Services (Funds Management)
How would you rate your internship?
My internship has been a highly valuable experience that has helped me develop the skills required
to progress my career. It has provided me clarity and reassurance in knowing that this is a field that I
want to pursue. I have thoroughly enjoyed both the work and the people I have met through it.

Can you explain what tasks you were given?


My tasks predominately involved research and financial analysis, including the compiling of tearsheets
on potential new deals as well as building slide decks for portfolio companies. Through this I gained
exposure to financial modelling in providing a high-level view of a company’s performance. I also
conducted more operational-based tasks such as analysing enrolment and survey data during due
diligence. Additionally, I completed admin tasks for the firm itself, which included maintaining deal
flow analysis and reporting.

What advice would you give people who are undergoing or will undergo internships?
My main point of advice would be understanding and implementing ‘professionalism’. This regards
knowing what is expected of you and knowing your place in the firm. I would say not to be obnoxiously
loud but at the same time not to be too quiet so that your presence is not felt. There is a balance
that must be struck in order to be the greatest value add to the firm by providing effective input. My
other point of advice would be to take on tasks that others don’t want to do and to complete those
tasks with a smile on your face. Be happy and prepared to do anything.

What were your favourite parts of the internship?


My favourite part of the internship was learning to work in a tight team and developing my
understanding of the corporate environment. I enjoyed simply being in meetings and listening to
such experienced people with diverse backgrounds and how they came to an investment decision.
I am happy to have been able to build relationships and see how those bonds can help improve the
performance of the firm.

How has this internship prepared you for your future career interests?
The internship has helped develop hard skills, but more importantly has really built my soft skills. I
believe that being able to communicate, present and discuss better has helped prepare for my future
career. By gaining such work experience, the internship has prepared for my future career in a way
that studying at university is not able to achieve.

A year in the life of a
graduate at Macquarie
Kane’s story
I joined Macquarie’s Graduate Program after completing a Bachelor of Commerce
(Co-op) majoring in Accounting and Finance. I’m a Business Analyst in the Principal
Finance team, which is part of Macquarie’s Corporate and Asset Finance Group.
Macquarie’s Principal Finance team provides flexible primary financing solutions and
engages in secondary market investing, across the capital structure.
Day-to-day I am responsible for assessing potential debt and equity investment
opportunities for Macquarie. These opportunities range from pure operating
businesses to real-estate investments. A key part of my role is building analysis from
the ground up and conducting research into a wide variety of industries to understand
how businesses create value and the key risks they face in today’s market. This work
can involve building financial models, analysing market trends, and working alongside
the management teams who run these businesses.
As transactions near completion, I’ve been responsible for preparing commercial
contracts and helping develop business strategies and 100-day plans. I’ve also been
involved in negotiations with counterparties – which is always an interesting experience.
These have all been fantastic learning opportunities, far exceeding the levels of exposure I
expected as a graduate.
Principal Finance analysts are ‘sector agnostic’, meaning that we work across all
sectors, from consumer retail to renewable energy to real-estate. I’ve been privileged
to work across a plethora of sectors, and investigate opportunities internationally and
across the capital structure from senior debt to pure equity, and everything in between.
The small team structure means I receive constant on-the-job training and mentoring,
which has been tremendously beneficial to my personal development.
I have been actively involved in the Graduate Development Program, where I’ve enjoyed
engaging with my peers across different teams that I wouldn’t typically interact with
during the normal course of business. I’ve also had the opportunity to meet many of
my counterparts from the London, Singapore and North American offices.
As part of the Principal Finance team, I get to be part of equity investments. They’re
intense and exhilarating experiences and are always exceptionally rewarding.
The work I’ve done with the Graduate Program has been exciting to say the least, but
the pinnacle of my first year with Macquarie has been spending an extended period
living and working in New York, which has culminated in my permanent transfer to
New York in January 2019. I gained invaluable experience working on transactions and
formed bonds with colleagues from around the world. I’ve always wanted to work in
New York, so I feel extremely fortunate to have been able to realise my dream so early
on in my career.

Professional Services
‘Professional Services’ is a buzzword that is used often but rarely understood. Let us explain what to
expect from a career in the Professional Services industry.

Professional Services firms serve the role of providing clients with expert knowledge, solutions and
assistance in order to strengthen their businesses overall. This includes things such as providing tax
advice, supporting a company with accounting services, or providing business recommendations.The
nature of this work means that Professional Services firms help to improve productivity and growth
across the economy.

Typically, a Professional Services firm is comprised of four main service lines: Audit, Tax, Consulting
and Corporate Finance. Another service line that is rapidly growing is Private Clients. In this area,
employees focus on providing advice to small businesses so that individuals achieve their financial
goals as efficiently as possible.

The Professional Services sector offers students the opportunity to grow and work across a diverse
range of industries. Through their numerous service lines, these vibrant firms assist a vast array of
clients including government bodies, non profit organizations and private and public entities.

Accordingly, working within Professional Services gives individuals the opportunity to understand the
complexities of different businesses. No two days are the same when working in Professional Services.
It is rare to find this level of diversity in a comparable sector. Most Professional Services firms offer a
range of graduate programs as well as cadetship and internship opportunities, where applicants are
able to experience the firm’s offering and culture.

If you aren’t sure about which area you want to work in, Professional Services firms probably have
the answer for you. Students who are passionate, well-rounded and enjoy being challenged with fresh
work experiences should consider a career in Professional Services.

Anonymous Internship Review
Professional Services
Overall, how did you find your internship experience?
My role as an assurance vacationer was a great experience that gave me my first taste of the
corporate world. After a day of training, I was thrown in the deep end, visiting my very first client
and beginning real audit work. I got to work side by side with my partner, manager and graduates
alike, and they all worked together to make my transition into the working environment as smooth
as possible. I was given a good level of responsibility, a variety of work and I was brought into client
meetings so that I could understand how the entire audit process works from start to finish. Overall,
it taught me more than I thought possible about not only assurance, but about working effectively in
diverse teams.

Do you recommend doing an internship for penultimate year students? Why?


I would go as far to say it’s essential for students to do an internship in their penultimate year for two
key reasons. First, it is impossible to know for sure what you want to do as a graduate without giving
things a try. It’s better to confirm whether a job is suitable for you whilst you’re still at university and
you have more time to change your career path. Even if you find that your service line doesn’t quite
suit you in the way you thought, having that experience will help you transfer over to something
else you might really enjoy. Second, if you do really enjoy your internship and you perform well, then
completing it has given you a big advantage over your peers, particularly if you secure a graduate
position. That’s why I truly believe it’s essential for all students to complete an internship in their
penultimate year.

Best piece of advice you received?


To be proactive and to network. Everyone from graduate through to partner from any service line is
truly willing to help you set and achieve your goals throughout your internship, as well as to answer
any general questions you have.This was something I never expected when I began my internship, but
it’s great to receive support and advice from people with differing levels of experience at the firm.

Did your internship experience give you a clearer idea of the career path you wish to take? In what
way?
The internship definitely helped me decide on what I wanted to pursue after graduating and being
able to talk with graduates and partners alike was the decisive factor for me. I felt six weeks would
be too short for me to decide for sure whether a job was suitable for me, however, being able to
hear everyone’s stories of their different clients, teams and secondments really helped me see the
wealth of opportunities available to me. The support and advice received from everyone at the firm,
coupled with the knowledge that assurance is a really open-ended way to begin a career, made my
final decision to accept the graduate offer in assurance a lot easier than expected.

Asset Management
The asset management industry is responsible for managing funds for individuals and companies,
where these funds invest in various asset classes.The primary role of these institutions centres around
making well-informed investment decisions on behalf of their clients to grow their finances, diversify
their portfolios and mitigate investment risk. With the volume of investable assets continuing to rise
and changing demographics shifting asset management to centre-stage, opportunities in this field are
present more than ever. From asset managers, to financial analysts and even economists, a range of
occupations are involved in undertaking the investment research, market analysis and management
decisions that go into this service.

Mutual Funds
Mutual funds are managed portfolios of assets which are managed by a professional investment
manager, and make up the bulk of the industry. Investors come from all aspects of life including
from superannuation, retail investors, and institutions. Most of the time, mutual funds are long-only
and employ more conventional investment strategies. These types of funds cover a variety of asset
classes, from property trusts to international shares, and have the benefit of being diversifiable and
entailing low transaction costs.

Hedge Funds
Hedge funds are fund that employ unconventional investment strategies to seek higher returns.
Strategies include shorting stocks, risk arbitrage, and activist investing. As a result, hedge funds tend
to be more risky, and investors tend to be institutional investors and high net worth individuals who
are able to meet the cash threshold needed to invest in a hedge fund.

Private Equity Funds


Private equity funds focus on managing private companies. Broadly speaking, private equity funds
can be separated into leveraged buyout funds (LBO) and venture capital funds (VC). An LBO fund
generally borrows large amounts of money to fund purchases of companies to take private. It looks
to generate returns by improving performance and selling the company later at a higher price. VC
funds invest in early stage companies looking for the next big idea.

Consulting Services
The current business climate elicits the need for a fresh outlook on organisational management. A
globalised economy, disruptive technologies, scarce natural resources and incumbent government
regulations present unprecedented challenges to to every firm’s success. While firms may have
little difficulty identifying such challenges, devising feasible solutions to alleviate them is much more
complex.

Enter the management consultant – the adaptable, analytical graduate tasked with developing solutions
for any and all difficulties an organisation may face. Consultants offer advisory and implementation
support to business leadership, commonly in designations such as strategy, operations, technology
and process.

Improvement. So what does this mean, exactly? The seemingly broad (if not unclear) explanation of
a management consultant’s role derives from the wide array of work they perform.The services they
provide are not confined to a single industry, client or category. They are not recruited based on a
specific degree or qualification held. Location isn’t static either – because projects are typically
conducted on-site, consultants are regularly required to travel interstate and overseas. This variety
serves as the profession’s greatest drawcard. Consulting firms advertise a dynamic, transitional career
removed from monotony, in turn attracting the brightest and most versatile talent.

Nonetheless, there is a common underlying process to every consultant’s work. Consultants


usually begin a client engagement acquiring information from management on the current state of
the problem they are hired to address. They analyse this information, developing key findings and
insights. Their findings are subsequently used as a basis to develop solutions, which are delivered as
recommendations in a report or presentation to the client at the project’s conclusion.The process is
iterative as consultants constantly seek client input at every stage of recommendation development .

The best consultants are exceptional communicators. They fluidly manage several stakeholder
relationships at once, be they clients, colleagues, superiors or external parties. They work cohesively
in teams to provide ground-breaking, innovative solutions whose results surpass those of competitors.
As the Boston Consulting Group eloquently phrases it, “borrowed answers and undifferentiated
strategies only achieve parity.” The aspiration of such firms is to outperform, and to do so consistently.

Students who are highly articulate, intelligent, energetic, and who share this same passion for
outstanding results, should consider a career in management consulting.

Anonymous Internship Review
Consulting
Did you enjoy your intern experience?
The internship was a very good learning experience where I had the opportunity to work with a
driven group of individuals who were committed to both my personal and professional development.
An interesting component of the internship program was that I was allocated a research project on
an emerging trend or business issue. Instead of just working on bits and pieces of a case, I enjoyed
being able to have complete ownership of something. I was able to independently develop my own
analysis and strategy recommendations and then run these ideas by industry specialists within my
team who offered further guidance.

What was your first impression on the job?


My first project was vendor due diligence for a construction company. It was a sector that I had
absolutely no experience in, so I was a little unsure about whether or not I’d enjoy it. By attending
client sites, I was able to get a better idea of how the business operated and to my surprise, it was
actually very interesting to learn about such a niche segment and see how it related to my everyday
life.

Was your internship in line with expectations?


Working in consulting was a lot more dynamic than I expected – because I had such a wide variety
of projects going on, workflow was quite unpredictable. With certain strategy cases, I’d be finishing
with a 30 minute early mark whilst a more intensive due diligence case meant lots of late nights and
UberEats orders. However, by working across so many different clients and team structures, I learnt
how to quickly understand new industries and adapt to different management styles.

What was the best piece of advice you received?


The people you work with have a huge impact on, not just the office culture, but also the type of
person you become – so be sure to surround yourself with people who inspire you.

Do you have any advice for recruitment?


Coffee chats and networking events are a great way to get to know people within the firm or
industry. They could offer you useful insights about the company i.e. what the culture is like or what
types of industries they specialise in. Furthermore, case practice is recommended but not essential –
all you really need is an inquisitive mind and the ability to show your interviewer that you are truly
passionate about the role.
