Buddies
When you sign with us, you’ll be paired with a buddy, your own go-to person throughout your graduate year. These handpicked buddies are here to help you feel supported. They’ll connect with you during your final months of your study, so by the time you start, you’ll know some familiar faces, helping your transition to full time work life.

We want to get to know you beyond your qualifications and grades! What you value outside of your studies, the experiences you have had and what motivates you is just as important.
At BDO Wellington we encourage you to bring your whole self to work. What makes you, you is the key to your success, and in turn it is the key to our clients’ success.
