I applied through university. I interviewed at KPMG (Montreal, QC) in June 2025
Interview
Very kind people, loved the experience, they really just want to get to know you, what makes you unique, what do you like about accounting, dressed nicely, be professional and be yourself and it will go well.
Behavioural questions. Not any technical questions for entry staff accountant role. Very conversational based type of interview. Interviewed with manager and a partner. Tell me about yourself, why audit, why kpmg, etc.
There are two 30 mins (total 1 hour) back to back interview person interview with a manager and a partner. The result is provided within the week usually after 1 day
Pretty easy interview process, you talk to a manager for 30min then another 30min back to back with the partner. No technicals. Just some behavioral questions and the partner interview is very laid back and straightforward.
