Finance Reporter Review

I'm a finance reporter. My departments many objective is to drive down costs throughout Unilever. I create reports every month to explain how well Unilever are sticking to their forecasts for costs. I have 5 major reports to do at the end of every month.

I have developed my knowledge of excel. I am still learning new ways represent may data. I have learnt a lot about finance, the terminology and process that are involved.

I feel the programme i am currently on is very beneficial. i have had a lot of help settling in from other apprentices who have made my first few months working here a lot easier than i expected.

The work i am doing is very valuable. I have had emails from employees based in other counties from other departments wanting to know about the data i am reporting on.

the programme i am on is structured very well. I had regular catch up meetings to help me settle in. My work load has slowly increased the longer i have been here. I feel it is moving at a good pace.

the programme i am on is structured very well. I have regular catch up meetings with people who help me to get the best out of my apprenticeship and do the best with my coursework. i always have someone to talk to with any problems or queries i may have.

I have weekly catch up meetings with my manager where we go over any concerns i may have or new tasks he wishes me to start.

As i am still living at home i don't have very many cost therefore the slaray is very good. I believe if i had a place for myself the salary may not cover all the costs.

As the work load to not stressful I have time to coach cricket as a secondary income and train mid week while playing games over the weekend. During the winter i play football over the weekend

Yes

it is a great opportunity. It is a huge well recognised organisation which will look spectacular on your CV.

Be confident. everyone here is very friendly. Everyone in Unilever as well as the AEA and PDS are always here to help you so don't be afraid.
