Restructuring Vacationer Program null

Think beyond.

At KordaMentha you can make a real difference from day one.

Each year, we run a n award-winning vacationer program during the summer university break for either a four - or eight - week work placement.

Forget the notion of an observational rotation. At KordaMentha , you will become part of a unique, creative and entrepreneurial team, gaining practical experience as we work together to solve our clients' most complex commercial problems. You will learn how we move beyond a standard approach, asking the 'what if…?' and 'why not…?' questions required to find bold, new ways to help our clients grow, protect and recover value.

Your opportunity

Companies in financial distress engage KordaMentha to urgently restructure and stabilise their businesses, protecting not only monetary value at risk but also their reputation and social licence, and those of their key stakeholders. Our Restructuring group has been entrusted with many of Asia-Pacific's largest and most complex corporate restructures, including Network Ten, Arrium, Tassal , Gunns, Timbercorp and Ansett Australia, and the recent restructures of retailers Seafolly and Tigerlily.

What you'll be doing

As a vacationer in our restructuring group, you'll work in creative project teams to manage Australia's largest and most complex corporate restructures, receiverships, administrations and liquidations. While no two days will be the same, you can expect to:

• work onsite to assist the team with the day to day running of distressed business
• manage creditor enquires and process receipts and payments ?
• help to meet statutory obligations including preparing business activity statements and ASIC forms
• attend meetings with clients and key stakeholders
• participate in business development and marketing activities
• research new opportunities by analysing financial and market information and reporting back to Partners

But it's not all about work. You'll be given a buddy to help you navigate office life as you settle in. We have regular catch ups with People and Culture to ensure you are getting the most out of your placement. We host regular events and social activities, bringing together our close-knit team in a friendly and relaxed environment.
