Finance Graduate Review

Commercial finance role, looking at the PFME (marketing spend) and reconciling with the marketing team so it feeds correctly into the P&L account. As well as working with major customer Waitrose on pricing, promotions and invoice accuracy

Communication skills with the wider business environment , eg marketing and commercial. Presentation skills to present key figures from Waitrose accounts and developing knowledge and understanding of the P&L through this process

Highly. I really enjoy the role and the team are really involving and collaboratively. Would highly recommend to upcoming graduates

Very well structured, they maintain a good balance with work and studying as I continue to progress through the levels of my CIMA qualification too.

Fantastic support, regular check ins are in place weekly in my calendar to progress check and to answer and queries or support I may need during my role

Insightful levels of teaching and support are provided both off the job by Kaplan and on the job by Nestle to provide that real world context to enhance my understanding

CIMA allows me to understanding my roles and responsibilities in finance because it helps to be able to easily understand and interpret the processes and lines in the balance statement and profit loss accounts through the business

There are several professional networking events that I have attended since starting in the role, but also graduate development weeks hosted by L&D and HR to ensure I am getting a holistic understanding of the business too

Yes

Collaborative and welcoming team who are only ever looking to develop you and help you to achieve your career aspirations and goals

Be yourself. You have been recruited for your professionalism but also how you are as a person, they want young people coming into the business to give a fresh pair of eyes into processes and other areas so always get involved where you can !
