Assistant senior Review

I work on various audit teams helping to complete a conclusion for the financial statements as to whether they are true and fair and free from material misstatement as caused by fraud or error. I work with a number of clients, helping gather the necessary information and then preforming an audit on this asking for further follow up questions or documents as needed

i have learnt many skills and definitely developed my excel skills since starting the firm. My new skills include reading and interpreting financial statements of many different companies. My communication skills and presentation skills have developed significantly since my leaving college before starting on the apprenticeship i am now on

My programme is enjoyable, i have the opportunity to continually meet new people, both from different offices within EY and external clients. There are many social events (albeit virtually at the minute) as well as many networking opportunities. Whilst many aspects are challenging the overall programme for me is enjoyable

My programme is structured in a way that i know how the 'journey' is going to plan out i.e. i know in which year i will be taking what exam and know how my role changes as the year progresses. There are many internal resources for me to find this should i not already know

Support from employer starts before starting at the firm. From my very first day i was assigned a counsellor and a buddy and started with a group of peers of which acts as a support network. Having a supportive counsellor and an apprenticeship coach has helped me through my apprenticeship experience thus far

There are designated times within the year ahead of exams to attend college to ensure we have the adequate knowledge to complete the exams. There is a professional qualifications team in which we can contact for any qualification specific questions that we may have. Sometimes it is challenging when there are work commitments alongside studying

My qualification definitely helps me to perform better in my role - the content i learn at college and prepare for my exams is theory of what i see on my day to day job. i can see the relevant policies, theories and models implemented in real life mirroring that which i learn for my qualification. It provides a ground of information which helps me to preform better in my role

There are multiple communities that can be joined varying from the woman's committee, the Muslim/ Sikh/ Jewish committee including a sports and LGBT committee. also there are many professional networking events that occur throughout the year that happen at various locations - some are mandatory and some optional to you

Yes

I feel that i have developed a number of skills since starting my apprenticeship programme and learnt a number of new skills. I am working towards a prestigious professional qualification whereby i learn a vast amount of content which is applied in my day to day work role. There is a great support system since joining the firm

ensure you do you research of what EY does and the different apprenticeship programme's it provides. ensure it is for you/ you can see yourself doing that for a number of years as it is challenging but if you are dedicated and put the work in you definitely get more benefits from it
