GE Financial Management Graduate Program

Our Programs

Our programs centre on a comprehensive rotation policy, which allows graduates to gain hands-on experience and training across a wide range of challenging projects and areas within the business. The programs may require travel for rotations interstate and/or training overseas. The current FMP graduates have completed rotations in several Australian capital cities as well as in Singapore, Tokyo & the USA.

GE’s Financial Management Program (FMP) is designed for exceptional students seeking outstanding training. FMP graduates work closely with GE’s most senior personnel, giving them access to crucial guidance and a broad range of career development opportunities.

Unlike other firms with massive intakes and high turnovers, GE accepts 3-6 graduates biannually. This means we’re able to invest more time, allowing us to focus keenly on the development of each individual. In financial speak: a greater investment on our part means a more substantial return for you. It’s no coincidence that a lot of the GE leaders of today are FMP graduates.

• Commercial finance
• Operations Analysis
• Auditing  
• Forecasting

• Financial Planning
• Controllership Accounting

The FMP requires mandatory travel with 4 x 6 month rotation assignments across Australia, & the world. The current graduates have completed rotations in several Australian capital cities as well as in Singapore, Tokyo & the USA.
