In our Corporate Finance team, weโ€™re looking for Summer Interns across Tฤmaki Makaurau/Auckland, Kirikiriroa/Hamilton, Pลneke/Wellington and ลŒtautahi/Christchurch, and Graduates in Tฤmaki Makaurau/Auckland.

Weโ€™re looking for Summer Interns who will start with us in November 2025 and Graduates who will start with us in February 2026.

If you are looking for experience in mergers, acquisitions and valuations, our market-leading Corporate Finance team is the ideal environment to learn.

Our Corporate Finance team is the highest performing of its kind in New Zealand. In fact, we have been the top-ranked company by volume of transactions since 2005 (Thompson Reuters).

We help shareholders and executives find value by providing mergers and acquisitions advice, financial-focused strategic advice, modelling services, business and intangible asset valuations and general corporate finance advice. Our work includes identifying targets for acquisition, raising business capital, valuing companies or intangible assets, assisting with executive incentive plans, assisting in deals, negotiating strategies, providing advice on dividend policy or capital structure and much more.

We aim to continue taking the top spot for a long time yet, though we can only do that by working as a solid unit. As a part of the Corporate Finance team, youโ€™ll have the support, advice and structure you need to start your post-university career in the best way possible.

If you are looking for a Summer Internship or Graduate role, this is what you are likely to have studied:

  • Bachelor degree with Finance, Economics or Accounting majors
  • Bachelor of Laws conjoints
  • Bachelor of Engineering
  • Bachelor of Science (with majors in mathematics or statistics) conjoint with finance or accounting

To hit the ground running, you will ideally have done some papers in accounting, as the ability to analyse financial statements is a core skill.

Does this sound like the perfect fit for you? Submit your application now!

Please ensure you have your CV and academic transcript ready. In the application form for this role we will also ask you to let us know if you would consider other roles, once you have filled that part out we'll take care of the rest so no need to apply more than once.

I have regular GST clients I work on each month, I have other clients who I continue to work on and then every now and then I'll get given other clients financials to work on that I've never done before.

Pros and cons of working at PwC NZ

Pros

  • Being in a big company means the opportunity for growth is limitless, which can be overwhelming but inspiring at the same time.

  • The people - how connected, friendly, and open-minded they are.

  • We are encouraged to use our flexibility policy to structure our work in a way that suits us.

  • The PwC office in Auckland is amazing - the facilities are nice and the view is stunning.

  • My manager is very accommodating and professional. I enjoy working with him.

Cons

    • The distribution of work (resourcing) isnโ€™t clearly communicated, which makes me feel insecure when I have the least amount of work assigned compared to others.

    • Long hours (at times).

    • Annual progression is good but has no flexibility for exceptional circumstances.

    • The pay disparity is accepted due to the experience gained.

    • With being in a big company it can be hard to feel like a small ๏ฌsh in a big pond, especially as a graduate.
