Align your credentials to KPMG's practice areas
KPMG recruits Consultants into distinct practices: audit, tax, deal advisory, and management consulting. Tailor your resume and credentials to one track before applying. A generalist profile is harder to place than one anchored to a specific service line.
Pursue CPA licensure before your interview
KPMG's audit and tax Consultant roles almost universally expect CPA eligibility or active licensure. If you're on OPT, use that window to clear exam sections. Candidates who arrive CPA-eligible face fewer internal obstacles when the firm initiates sponsorship paperwork.
Target KPMG's campus recruiting cycle deliberately
KPMG fills most Consultant headcount through structured campus programs at target universities. Applications open in late summer for the following year's start dates. Applying through on-campus recruiting, rather than cold applying online, significantly improves your visibility to hiring managers.
Clarify E-3 eligibility early in the process
Australian nationals should confirm E-3 sponsorship availability during the offer stage, not after signing. KPMG's legal team can file an E-3 petition without the H-1B lottery, but you need to raise this explicitly. The firm's immigration counsel handles both, so the ask is routine.
Understand PERM timing relative to your status
If you're targeting an EB-2 or EB-3 Green Card through KPMG, PERM labor certification must be filed well before your H-1B extensions become constrained. DOL processing currently runs over a year. Raise long-term sponsorship intent during your second year, not your fourth.
Search verified sponsoring employers on Migrate Mate
Identifying which KPMG offices and practice lines are actively sponsoring Consultant roles right now takes real data. Use Migrate Mate to filter verified sponsoring employers by role type and visa category, so you're targeting active opportunities rather than guessing from job postings alone.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does KPMG sponsor H-1B visas for Consultants?
Yes, KPMG sponsors H-1B visas for Consultant roles across its audit, tax, and advisory practices. The firm works with dedicated immigration counsel to manage petitions and has established internal processes for new hires requiring sponsorship. Because H-1B is subject to the annual lottery, KPMG typically initiates registration in March for roles starting the following October. Candidates on OPT should confirm their graduation date and OPT expiration align with this timeline before accepting an offer.
How do I apply for Consultant jobs at KPMG?
Most Consultant hires at KPMG come through campus recruiting programs, which open in late summer for the following year's cohort. Applications go through KPMG's careers portal, and candidates typically complete video interviews followed by a final-round office visit. If you're not on a target campus list, direct applications through the portal are accepted but face stiffer competition. Migrate Mate lists verified Consultant openings at KPMG filtered by visa sponsorship type, which helps you identify the right entry point.
Which visa types does KPMG commonly sponsor for Consultant roles?
KPMG sponsors H-1B visas for the broadest range of Consultant candidates and also supports E-3 visas for Australian nationals, which bypass the lottery entirely. For candidates pursuing permanent residence, KPMG has sponsored EB-2 and EB-3 Green Cards through the PERM labor certification process. The visa type offered depends on your citizenship, current status, and how far into your career you are when you join the firm.
What qualifications does KPMG expect for sponsored Consultant roles?
KPMG generally requires a bachelor's degree in accounting, finance, business, or a related field for entry-level Consultant positions. CPA eligibility is expected for audit and tax tracks, and many offers are conditional on completing licensure within a set timeframe. For experienced Consultant hires, prior public accounting experience or relevant industry advisory work is standard. Sponsorship decisions are typically straightforward when your degree directly aligns with the practice line you're joining, which matters for H-1B specialty occupation classification.
How do I plan my timeline if KPMG is sponsoring my H-1B as a new Consultant?
USCIS opens H-1B registration each March for an October 1 start date. If you're graduating in May and starting on OPT in June, you'll need your employer to register you the following March for an H-1B that kicks in the October after that. This means your OPT period needs to cover roughly 16 months before H-1B status activates. If your OPT runs out before October 1, STEM OPT extension can bridge the gap for eligible graduates, giving you up to 24 additional months of work authorization while your petition is pending.
