My day-to-day role involves the preparation of tax returns, as well as holding briefings with assignees. In these briefing the assignee is asked a series of questions and I use these answers to prepare the tax return and determine the tax status. I also complete other ad hoc tasks and roles.
I have learnt and developed a lot of new skills as well as existing skills. The main skill that I have developed is professionalism. In terms of new skills I have learnt how to use new software and about the tax return process. I have built upon my communication and team working skills.
I really enjoy my programme. There is something different to do each day and I feel that I have developed myself as a result. The people have been really supportive and the experiences have been amazing. The company culture is also great and very supportive. It has met and gone above all of my expectations.
My programme is very well organised and structured. I am currently doing an apprenticeship and there is a timetable for the days when I am out in college and when I am back in the office. There was a three week inductions at the Tax Academy where I was taught a lot things that I needed to know about the company and my role.
I receive a lot of support from my employer. My employer pays for me to do the apprenticeship program and my exams. My employer also provides all of the books that I need for my exams. I have a Coach and a People Leader who take the time to meet regularly with me.
I receive a lot of support from my employer when training towards my qualifications. For example I am given study leave and I have also been sent to college to study for my exams. People have been very understanding in the office about the fact that I am studying for exams.
My qualification helps me to understand the broader implications of the day to day work that I do. This is highly useful as it means that what I do on a daily basis makes more sense to me and I can see how it fits in in its broader context.
There are lots of extra-curricular activities that you can get involved in. Recently there has been netball that you can play. There is also a company football tournament to Prague which you can go to. There are often invitations to professional networking events and there are Partner drinks and lunches.

I would recommend Deloitte to a friend because it is a highly inspiring and friendly place to work. The company wants you to reach your full potential and will give you support to do so. You are constantly being able to develop yourself and learn more things. There is a good culture.
I would advise that you should understand the day to day tasks that you will be carry out in the role and make sure that you feel that this is for you. I would try to gain some experience in the office first, perhaps applying for the work experience programmes so that you know that it is for you.
