Primo Singh
Christchurch,New Zealand
Summary
A penultimate-year Commerce student majoring in Accounting and Taxation, aiming to acquire practical business experience through a graduate role. I possess strong organisational awareness coupled with careful attention to detail and am eager to tackle intricate problem-solving challenges, which I feel would make me a great applicant for the audit team here at KPMG. I am certainly a people person and love to engage with team members not only in the workplace but also on a social level outside the office. I grew up on our family farm in the Waikato, giving me a good basis of knowledge when it comes to the agricultural industry and potential rural clients.
