Assurance Associate Review

Day to day, the task varies. Typically, you are working on a specific account, documenting it, ensuring numbers tie out, and sufficient supports have been obtained. Also involves engaging with other team members to work collaboratively. Its currently busy season, so there is always something to do!

Accounting knowledge during work. Improvements on my use of excel. Communication skills through contacting the client and conversing between team members.

I have mostly enjoyed it! It got a bit intense during busy season, with longer hours than expected, however overall it has so far been a great experience, and I am grateful for it. I am getting a lot of exposure.

The program is very structured. However, it would be great if we could be provided a clearer program of when we are going to college, and curriculem, or at least be told when we will be told about this as some of us find this unsettling.

I get a lot of support from my team - particularly seniors, but also from the managers!

We have a student coach who we can contact if we have questions. I have not utilised this much yet, however I did once and they quickly answered my question.

The information we learnt at college was largely relevant to the work, and it definitely gave me a basis for starting the job!

Lots of extra curriculars! From sports teams to social teams. I have also got involved with the office social team!

The experience you gain from working here feels invaluable. you might be stressed at times, but any job can be stressful.

Be yourself! Research EY, their values, and make sure they align with you, and talk about this in the interviews if relevant!
