Within the Southern region of the Netherlands, we have four KPMG offices located in Eindhoven, Breda, Maastricht and Arnhem. Although we have four physical locations, we work as one team within the region. This approach allows our people to grow, network and gain experience across different types of client engagements, and allows our clients to benefit from a mix of skills and expertise, regardless of their location.

The types of clients we work with are as diverse as our teams! Technology, industrial, manufacturing, chemical, retail – we do it all. We also work in a variety of types of audits from statutory and regulatory compliance to sustainability and governance reporting. From IT controls testing, to international group audits and consolidations. We really do offer you a world of opportunities.

As Senior Associate, you will be responsible for the delivery of top quality audit engagements from planning through to completion.  

Alongside audit delivery work, you will also provide support and supervision to junior team members, and provide coaching and development to help them reach their full potential. This will include planning and reviewing their work to ensure a positive learning experience and high quality delivery to the client. 

You will be responsible for the day-to-day management of stakeholder relationships and can expect to work with senior level staff.  You will work closely with the Audit Manager, Senior Manager, Director and Partner, ensuring that they are kept up to date with progress, involving them where needed in all phases of the audit and if issues arise.
