Why join the team?

“When I was searching for a job, 333 Real Estate appealed to me as a company to work for because of the diversity of challenges, responsibilities and situations that could be experienced from it. The work could be either formal or informal, and involved all different asset sectors from locations throughout the world. This diversity of experience is unparalleled in the majority of workplaces.

Since commencing work, I have been able to enjoy a great working culture within the company. It fosters initiative and self-reliance, whilst having approachable senior staff that are always willing to provide assistance and further your learning.

The combination of this diversity and great company culture make it a fantastic place to work.”

Brock McDermott, Manager, 333 Real Estate

“If you had asked me when I joined KordaMentha as a graduate 'where will you be in ten years time', I might not have believed you if you had told me that I would be a senior member of a premier corporate advisory firm with over 400 employees and a global presence. Interestingly, the values that drew me to KordaMentha all that time ago still hold true now and it is for these reasons that I returned to the firm in 2009 after spending three years abroad.

KordaMentha offers unparalleled opportunities for self development and career advancement. Every day I have the good fortune to work with high calibre individuals in a rewarding environment, connect with a significant network of prominent individuals in business and other professionals in the industry and garner responsibility for managing challenging and complex engagements.”

Brittany Lincoln, Director, KordaMentha

"Property has always been my passion. I chose to join KordaMentha and 333 Real Estate in March 2011 having spent the previous 8 years of my career working in areas ranging from property development, funds management and property investment.

Within the property industry there is no role that can provide the variety and challenge of distressed property and insolvency. Literally on a Monday morning you may be faced dealing with a residential subdivision, large construction site, commercial building, industrial property or retail complex – all requiring solutions to their current situation.

The mandates we are given require a high level of commercial judgment and acumen, and ultimately resolution. With so many skills in play and so much diversity in what you do, your career will excel in this industry.

Within this context KordaMentha and 333 Real Estate have created a collaborative and friendly environment with a strong culture and commitment to excellence. You won’t regret making the move."

Alex Banzic, Associate Director, 333 Real Estate

"To be honest, I joined KordaMentha by chance rather than choice. I had left the professional services industry for a while and was out of touch at that time. Looking back, I guess I was at the right place at the right time. More than two years ago, I was looking at doing something different having spent the last ten years or so in the hospitality industry and before that in audit. The going was good but I just needed a change. Change was what I experienced when I joined KordaMentha.

What I liked about the firm was its emphasis on delivering high quality work and excellent service to its customers but not forgetting the needs of its employees by also stressing on having a good work life balance.

When I was first employed by KordaMentha, I joined the Corporate Recovery Services team. The experience was new to me and I enjoyed the variety in the nature of each and every assignment. The assignments ranged from debt restructuring to cash/financial statements’ review to liquidation assignments. My next stop was at Forensics. What I liked about forensic work is the ability to put into practice my interest in and knowledge of the capital markets and to hone my skills to become more observant and logical in my thinking. In the area of dispute resolution, I have been involved in the preparation of Expert Reports and assisting the expert prepare for his expert testimony. The expert related assignments I have worked on include a claim for wrongful selling of share on margin trading, valuation of stock options and analysis of trades (including derivatives) for potential mishandling of clients’ investments either on the side of the bank or its customer. I have also worked on background checks and asset tracing assignments usually involving divorce cases.

I had much to learn during this period and was grateful to my bosses that I was able to learn much especially in the area of expert report writing, forensic analysis work and how to trace assets.

I have seen myself progressing in the firm. Nevertheless, I have not stopped learning and growing by working in the firm and believe I will continue to do so. I now realise I have grown to like the firm I did not know much about when I first joined by 'chance'."
