Job title- Auditor, On a daily basis we interact with clients, visit their offices and conduct audits.
Apart from professional qualifications, I have developed and improved on many skills such as interpersonal, communication, team working skills, etc.
The firm is very supportive and is great for career progression. The people I work with are great and understand me better as they have been in the same role before.
Managers and seniors are quite good at providing feedback after every audit and we have a job appraisal process for every audit. Managers also encourage and motivate us throughout the audit with feedback.
Exam dates and tuition dates were set out in advance for the next two years when I took the job. It was very well organised and allowed me to plan my year ahead including holidays, etc. Future career progressions offers are also set out for us to choose.
The firm is very supportive when it comes to exams and training. We receive regular in-house training on our job. The firm also allows us TOIL to be taken for exam study leave. Managers are considerate when booking us on jobs near exam times.
Managers and senior staff are very approachable and supportive with issues I have. Job appraisals also allow me to raise any issues I may have. Managers are seniors are very supportive and understanding as they have taken the path I am on and been in my place.
My salary package is equivalent to those of other firms in the industry, including much bigger firms like the Big 4. I feel the firm has a good salary package.
After completing this programme, there are a lot of opportunities for me. The firm also offers to continue with our professional qualification and become certified chartered accountants, which is what I am planning on doing.
Yes
Moore Stephens is a great firm not only for career progression but also for the people that make the firm.
Be yourself and relax on the assessment days.
