Prosple Profiles

Fleur Chang always thought her accounting degree would lead her to a career as an Accountant. Instead, she's  experiencing first-hand what it's like to apply her skills in a diverse financial services organisation.

Grades are important, but the main thing is driving opportunities for yourself - social, professional or otherwise.

In search for an opportunity to combine her interests in finance and accounting, Gemma McGinness’ Co-Op internship with Macquarie proved a career in financial services was right for her. Although her first year on the Graduate Program, working across consulting and data teams in Macquarie’s Financial Management Group, has been done in a primarily remote-working setting, it hasn’t stopped her from grasping opportunities; extending her skills in coding and taking part in the first ever remote year end process project.

I feel extremely lucky to be working with such hardworking people who genuinely want to see me succeed.  ANZ has a great praise culture – we really value calling out those who are doing a fantastic job (and who doesn’t like being appreciated for the work that you do?!)

The diversity of work that is available to do is incredibly vast. No bug that needs fixing or new feature that needs adding will feel monotonous.

If you are motivated in solving challenging problems that impact Australians, then you’ll find success in your career with ASIC.

As an analyst, I complete data analysis and valuation work to support the team. I also prepare documents and presentations that are presented to clients.

James Fricker studied a Bachelor of Mathematics (Statistics) and Bachelor of Finance at the University of Adelaide and is now a Technology Graduate at ANZ.
