Reporting Analyst Review

My role involves communication with various departments and teams, collecting data that is then collated and presented to senior stakeholders within the business. P&L management is another major part of my role, ensuring costs and revenues are recorded accurately to produce an accurate picture of cash/finances with departments.

I have developed my Excel skills, learning how to use lookups, sumifs and index matches. I have also learnt how to use accounting software, SAP, and internal systems for report production. I have also been able to develop my communication and presentation skills through presentations to senior stakeholders and business partners within TUI.

I have thoroughly enjoyed the programme so far. I particularly like that we rotate through three different roles, spending a year in each one, to allow us to learn about more areas of the business. There are so many different parts of finance and it really helps your development to rotate through as many areas as possible. We normally get to cover, accounting, commercial and reporting roles during our time on programme.

The programme is fairly well structured although there can be poor communication about specifics of the programme, however these are often more related to the training provider than TUI.

TUI are very supportive and every new graduate is given a buddy of one of the current graduates to support them and answer any questions they may have. There are also a couple of finance staff that are in charge of the finance graduates who we also have regular catch ups with.

The training courses provided by the training provider are very good, the information is detailed and well explained. They provide lots of support as needed and there are lots of practise questions provided to help you practise for exams. Communication can be quite slow but the actual training courses are really good.

My qualification definitely helps me perform better in my role by developing my understanding of what I am doing in my day to day role. The accounting knowledge I have developed through my qualification has been crucial for performing well in my role.

There are lots of social activities run by the finance social committee and there are also wider events held by TUI. I wish there were more wider graduate/apprentice events run by TUI to allow networking with apprentices across the wider business.

Yes

TUI are a very good and supportive employer. The training provided within my day to day role is really good and everyone is so helpful, always willing to answer any questions and explain things to you.

Make sure you read the questions and do some research on TUI to help you answer the questions. Mostly just be true to yourself.
