About BDO

At BDO Australia, our why is ‘empowering people, realising possibilities’. One way we bring this to life is by hiring and developing exceptional talent, to deliver on our wide array of audit, tax and advisory services.

About the Role

Join BDO as a Vacationer in our Business Restructuring team in November 2025.

You’ll work with a team of experienced restructuring and insolvency specialists and technical experts. You’ll gain exposure to various client industries and a broad range of corporate and personal insolvency engagements, class actions and business restructuring advisory projects.

Each restructuring and insolvency engagement is an exciting opportunity to learn and understand the ins and outs of how a business operates, the causes and consequences of financial distress and the strategies and options available to assist businesses and creditors.

You will have the opportunity to work with your team to undertake a wide range of insolvency statutory reporting requirements, and tax compliance tasks, with great exposure to reviewing financial statements, conducting investigations, managing databases and communicating with creditors and other key stakeholders.
