Tax
As tax consultants we need to exercise both our logical and creative powers. Logically, we have to understand the complexities of tax. Creatively, we have to devise ways of keeping our clients on the right side of the law, while minimising their tax costs.

Eve Gapski - 2011 Consulting Graduate Deloitte Wellington
Deloitte had a career information evening and that’s when I got excited about consulting and realised that was where I wanted to be. None of the other firms really pushed their consulting service line as much. The only clear picture that I got about consulting was from Deloitte and that’s why I applied.
The Monday after the first week I was straight on a project and worked at a client’s site for three weeks. It was really interesting and I had good support to help me through, but it was a very steep learning curve. When you learn so much in such a short time you realise what you’re capable of.
I was sent to Bangalore in India on a 10-week training boot camp earlier this year to be upskilled on a specific technology. Once I got back to New Zealand I was placed on a project where the new technology was used. Because I’d learnt the technical side of things, I could talk to the system developers easily. This gave me so much more confidence in my job and I really enjoyed the project.
The part that I enjoy the most is working with so many talented people who are really smart and well educated and who challenge you all the time. Just being able to prove yourself every day because you get challenging tasks and you can show that you’re able to complete them to a really high standard.
Dayna Clement - 2011 Tax Summer Intern Deloitte Hamilton
I’ve only been here for about three weeks now and already I’ve formed a positive opinion about DeloItte. They don’t just give me the easy jobs like photocopying – It’s proper work that I can get stuck into and research and learn about.
The difference with being an intern is that we’re just getting our first impression. Deloitte is trying us out, just like we are trying Deloitte out. They’re preparing us to be graduates and we’re learning everything that we can so we can fit into the Deloitte lifestyle.
It’s good because the hands-on accounting work that I’ve learnt at university I can actually put to use now. It’s not as scary as I thought it would be. And then, the tax side is about solving the tax issues of various clients, which is quite interesting because you get to research individual tax needs and come up with specific solutions.
In the Hamilton office i get to do both tax and accounting projects and at the end I can decide which area I like the most and which is the best fit for me. With the firm structure at Deloitte, you’ve got partners, managers, and associate directors, but they’re not scary: everyone is very approachable. Every task that I’ve been given I’ve been shown how to do it and if I’ve got any questions – even if it’s maybe the dumbest thing I could ask – they’re very accommodating and always willing to help.
I’ve been able to put my skills that I’ve learnt at university into practice and I’ve met some really cool people and made some friends as well. It’s been great!
