Every day we seek to reach for remarkable - in the opportunities we unlock, the experience we share and the results we deliver.

It’s why we go beyond in the way we care for our people, clients and communities, and support them to thrive, always.

Your opportunity

We currently have opportunities for driven and commercially-minded students to join our Melbourne Transfer Pricing team to commence by March 2026 (or earlier).

Transfer pricing is one of the most challenging tax issues. Multinational companies are increasingly facing scrutiny from regulators, media and the public – and complying with different requirements across multiple jurisdictions can be a complex and time-consuming task.

Our Transfer Pricing team helps clients manage their entire transfer pricing lifecycle by:

• establishing planning structures when expanding overseas for the first time or entering new markets
• restructuring transfer pricing frameworks
• undertaking transfer pricing reviews
• conducting pricing of intercompany debt and arm’s length debt testing analysis
• supporting statutory reporting requirements; and
• preparing and maintaining local, regional and global transfer pricing documentation.

Joining the Transfer Pricing team as a graduate will see you:

• working closely with clients to understand their business holistically – their operations and their objectives
• attending client site visits and walk throughs
• conducting due diligence reviews in support of M&C transactions
• liaising with the ATO and other jurisdictional agencies
• conducting in-depth industry research
• keeping up to date with legislative and regulatory changes
• having a high degree of direct client contact from day one.

Eligibility

To be eligible for a 2026 graduate role, you must be:

• on track to complete your studies by the end of 2025 or have recently completed a relevant undergraduate/postgraduate degree within the last two years; and
• an Australian or New Zealand Citizen, a Permanent Resident of Australia or a visa-holder (subject to some conditions).

International students and graduates

We welcome applications from international students who are studying at an Australian tertiary institution.  To be eligible to apply, you will need to demonstrate that you have full time working rights within Australia at the time of your application.  We recommend you review our international student and graduate eligibility information prior to starting your application.

Please note: Grant Thornton Australia will not sponsor students or graduates for the purposes of residency. Successful candidates will be required, as a condition of their employment, to maintain a current visa or where relevant, to independently apply for and obtain permanent residency.
