ESG has been high on the agendas of many companies for years. From the impact of the energy transition, human rights issues, safety and exclusivity of employees to sustainable and insightful value chains: ESG covers a wide range of topics. Companies are expected to measure and report on their ESG performance. This requires reliable information regarding the achievement of ESG objectives and whether the reporting is in line with international standards. CSRD compliance will play an important role in the near future within the EU as many large companies will be seeking assurance on their non-financial information.

Due to the increased requirements for ESG reports and the increasing importance for the external audit profession, we are expressly looking for colleagues who want to take KPMG as a company further in the area of Assurance on ESG information.

You have completed an academic education in a relevant field. A Postmaster Register Accountant training (or equivalent such as CPA) is an advantage but not a must have.

In addition, you have a broad interest and a sharp eye for results and the wishes of our clients.

You have an affinity with data analysis and you are skilled with Excel
You have an affinity with reporting and ESG
You have a relevant degree in finance (accounting/economics), chemical engineering, social sciences, sciences, geography, geology (or similar).

You have 3 to 5 years of work experience, preferably also in the field of assurance/ ESG reporting.
Your location is Amstelveen, but are you also willing to travel.
