Partnership and partner tax compliance and advisory
I have vastly improved my technical knowledge related to tax through internal training and part of my ACA qualification. I have also improved my communication skills.
I do enjoy the programme. It can sometimes be challenging to work full time alongside studying for a professional qualification. However, this helps me to focus on improving my time management skills.
Well structured. However, I have had some minor issues with poor organisation related to exam planning.
I receive ample support. My colleagues reply to messages quickly and are very helpful.
I have not needed to seek extra support regarding my qualifications. I have found that I am given enough resources to find out the answers myself generally.
The technical tax knowledge has helped me with client work and I now have more of a broader understanding of accounting.
I haven't actually been to this office yet due to covid, but it seems like there are plenty of social events and team building activities.
Yes
BDO offers a supportive programme which ables you to complete your ACA exams while getting real world experience.
Understand that work needs to be your main focus and if you're not 100% commited then you most likely won't last the whole trainining programme. Be keen to learn.
