1. Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:

I assist with on-site financial reporting, including preparing journal entries for lease accounting purposes, accruing for unbilled expenses, and ensuring transparency and accuracy of records, as well as monitoring balance sheet transactions for accuracy and timeliness. I also take on ad hoc AP responsibilities where needed to ensure that invoices are paid on time and supplier relations are maintained.

2. Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?

I initially came from a non-finance background as a mature student, so being able to gain a working knowledge of finance and accounting has been one of the largest aspects of my apprenticeship.
