Veronica started with KPMG in January, 2010 as a co-op student. She completed rotations in both Audit and Tax. She worked with several different groups on different audits and got to experience several different industries, from large companies to small non-profits. During her tax rotation, she enjoyed completing many personal tax returns.
Outside of work, Veronica enjoys travelling, yoga, and lots of campus involvement. She has just completed a semester abroad in Iceland.
Veronica’s favourite part of her semester with KPMG was working in small teams to complete audits, and the friendships made because of that. She really appreciated how easy it was to feel like an important member of each project.

James Rockwood
jm849922@dal.ca
This past winter, James worked at KPMG’s Halifax office as a staff accountant. James started in Audit and later transferred to Tax. During his time in Audit, James helped audit private and public companies from different industries. He really enjoyed this because it let him see behind the scenes of some local companies and learn how they operated. After he transferred into Tax, James worked on personal tax returns. Other than work, James enjoys taekwondo, skiing and travelling.
James’ favorite part of his work term was the learning-oriented environment in the Halifax office. As a first work term, James had a lot of questions which were happily answered by his team mates. This helped facilitate his learning and get the most out of his work term.

Nathan completed his first co-op work term in the Halifax office as a staff accountant. He spent his first two months with the firm in the Audit practice where he worked with public, private, and not-for-profit companies. He spent the last two months of his placement in the tax pool preparing personal tax returns. His favourite part of his time at KPMG was being able to work with different engagement teams and meet a variety of people on a more personable level.
