 graduate program overview

The Rotation Program
Initially, our graduates will undertake a 'rotation program' working in each of the following divisions for a period of approximately six months per rotation:

1. Forensic Accounting
2. Taxation & Business Solutions
3. Insolvency and Reconstruction

Non-rotational positions: We also have a limited number of non-rotational graduate positions available should you wish to gain experience in one specific area.

Post-program - general
At the conclusion of the graduate program and subject to position availability, we try and place each accountant in a position that compliments their interests and skill set.

Post-program - forensic accounting career path
To pursue a position in the Forensic Accounting division after your initial Rotation Program, it is usual for graduates to spend a period of one to two years working predominantly in Vincents' Taxation & Business Solutions division (aka business services).
 
As a member of the Taxation & Business Solutions team, you will be involved in preparing and interpreting financial statements and taxation returns for individuals, partnerships, companies, trusts and superannuation funds. You will also assist in providing clients with advice on issues such as tax planning, business performance and corporate structures.

Exposure to forensic accounting will also be provided during this time to assist with your career transition.

Once transitioned into the Forensic Accounting division, you will be involved in a wide range of legal and commercial dispute areas such as assessment of damages, business valuations, fraud investigations, personal injury matters and insurance services.
