Commonwealth Bank 2021 Financial Services (Accounting) Graduate Program

DO WORK THAT MATTERS

We provide financial support to our Board, our shareholders and work closely with all areas of CommBank and help set our overall business strategy. We are responsible for providing performance management, advice and governance. We advise each business unit about project management and also provide services such as consulting, taxation advice, decision support, management information system design and competitor analysis.
Financial Services at CommBank includes Group Audit, Group Finance, Group Treasury, Institutional Banking & Markets Finance, Retail Banking Services Finance, Business & Private Banking Finance and Enterprise Service Finance. So, whether you wish to focus on financial or management accounting, support a particular area of our business, providing daily P&Ls for trading businesses, monthly performance reporting for product and client segments, budgeting, forecasting and ad hoc special reviews for both onshore and offshore locations, we can offer a vast array of rotation opportunities. 
As a team we're responsible for the world-leading application of technology and operations across every aspect of CommBank; from innovative product platforms for our customers, to essential tools within our business. 

WE'RE LOOKING FOR YOU

We are looking for people who love numbers. Financial Services teams sit as the backbone to all our business units. We're looking for someone who is a strong communicator, critical thinker, and has a consultative approach.
