Cadetship Program

We support both school leavers/undergraduates and new graduates, providing hands‑on experience, mentoring, and professional development tailored to your stage of study and career.

Our Cadet Program offers part‑time employment for school leavers and undergraduates while they complete their university degrees (ideally completing a Bachelor of Commerce/Business (Accounting) or similar). 

Cadets gain hands‑on experience from day one, supported by a team who understands the journey — including former cadets who now hold senior roles within the firm.

Staff undertaking this program receive:

  •          Mentoring from former cadets and senior staff
  •          Introductory tax and accounting training
  •          Real‑world experience that builds confidence and capability


Upon graduation, cadets and graduates are invited to join our team full‑time and continue into the CA Program with our full support.

Cadets and Graduates participate in the DFK Australia New Zealand National People Development Plan, which includes:

  •          Tailored technical and professional training
  •          Coaching and mentoring
  •          Industry‑leading training providers
  •          Valuable networking opportunities

Both pathways are designed to build your knowledge, confidence, and long‑term career success.
