Accounts assistant Review

I have been out on audit at various client's sites doing a variety of audit testing on their financial statements. I have also been in the business services and accounting sector doing some accounts preparation

I have learnt a variety of new skills via colleagues explaining to me how to do things. This includes how to carry out audit tests and how to prepare accounts

I have really enjoyed the programme, i have learnt loads and it has been a great experience. I definitely got the benefits out of it that i hoped to get (learning what an accountant really does and having the chance to see if being an accountant is really what i wanted to do or not

I feel like i have been appreciated by all the managers that i have had on the different audits as they have all told me how pleased they were with the work i had done for them

I would say that the programme is quite well organised, i have always had something to do, although i was sometimes given some last minute notice of where i was going to be. However i believe it is only the second year that this programme has been running so i believe for that reason it is quite well structured.

I received a lot of support, if i need help with the work i am doing they help me as soon as possible. I have never been told no when i needed help, there is always someone around which is helpful.

I have received a lot of support, if i am ever stuck on a task someone would be there to help me out

I am being paid travel expenses for when i have to travel to a clients site so this is very helpful

Yes, we have been out for a few lunches, i know that they do other social events as well but as i am only here for two weeks i havent had the chance to experience them.

Yes

They are a great company, they are recognised worldwide and have been very helpful to me.
