Summer School Student - Tax Review

- Shadowing members of the corporation tax team in the Reading office. - Completing projects including tax packs, computation reports, filing, administration and letters. - Participating as a member of the corporation tax team.

- Attention to detail - Meeting deadlines - Money laundering

- Quite a lot - Real insight into day to day life as an accountant.

Slightly - only being a Summer Schooler means that obviously I am not as important to the team as any trainees or managers, but rightfully so as I do not have any experience. I also did appreciate the fact that they distributed laptops - that made me feel welcome.

Slightly structured, no clear programme to follow, just completing any tasks set to me.

A lot - whenever I am unsure of something they always help me resolve the issue to a high standard.

Quite a lot - the whole team from the top down seem happy to help whenever an issue crops up.
