The New Frucor Suntory Accounting Graduate Programme in Finance

At Frucor Suntory we are hungry to make drinks better. We’re passionate about creating great-tasting drinks that have a positive impact on wellbeing and enjoyment. 

We make, market and distribute a range of juices, fruit drinks, energy drinks, waters and soft drinks, many of which are household names throughout New Zealand and Australia. Our brands include the iconic ‘V’ energy drink, Fresh Up, Just Juice, h2go, Mizone, NZ Natural, Pepsi Max and Suntory BOSS Coffee. 

Frucor Suntory sets out to attract the best people, and we know that once we have great people on-board, we need to continuously develop their skill base and leadership mind-set. We are committed to your personal growth and to providing you with the tools necessary to further your career. 

We are proud to announce that starting in 2022, we are launching a new stream to our Graduate Programme – in Finance! You will be immersed into a two year programme which will provide challenging assignments stretching the way you think, giving you exposure to a range of developmental and learning experiences that will help you understand our business, develop your career and give you leadership development/opportunities. 

And yes, it will be part of your job to help us taste test new V flavours, so bring your best taste buds! 

You’ll gain real experience while earning a competitive salary. There is no average day at Frucor Suntory and you’ll get to experience working in a truly innovative company.  

On our programme, you will have the opportunity to work in Financial Control & Reporting, Consumer Finance, Financial Planning & Analysis, Commercial Finance and Supply Chain Finance.  

Over the two years you will work in cross-functional project teams working with different departments within the business, along with exposure to our amazing leaders, spending a week shadowing the Heads of Departments to see our leadership in action.

As part of your Graduate Programme, we will support you to obtain your professional qualification through the Chartered Accountants Programme (CA) with the Chartered Accountants Australia & New Zealand (CAANZ). We will support you financially, through your exams and help you prepare with study and exam leave where you will have the support from mentors, managers and peers.
