Your opportunity: Restructuring

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.

- 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

Pros and cons of working at KordaMentha
Pros
Opportunities to grow and learn. Smaller compared to big 4. Heavy access to senior leadership. Opportunities to get involved in building business/strategy. CA classes paid for.
The people and events. It's always enjoyable to see everyone in the office. Especially as a grad, it's great to have so many people around you that are willing to help out and support you.
The Office space is premium and one of the better aspects of the employer, with scenic views in the heart of the city, they could not be better.
Company is quite social and flat culturally. You can talk to senior people comfortably. Nothing toxic or negative. People are generally highly professional and sociable.
Managers are exceptionally talented individuals with a willingness to both learn and help, praise and recognition are given.
Cons
Team is still building to have the right middle management/procedures/training in place for grads/trainees.
Occasionally, you may be required to work some late nights if you have been placed on a demanding engagement.
Busyness as a grad can be very variable.
Pay is not great for some of the hours that you are required to do.
Not enough structured training content delivered to graduates in the Consulting team.
