Analyst Review

I work in the turnaround and restructuring service line of EY, this involves working on administrations, liquidations and independent business reviews. My tasks include analysing data, presenting data, dealing with clients, customers and suppliers for businesses in administration. The skills i use are problem solving, creative thinking and team working.

I have learnt a variety of new skills including team working, client communication, problem solving, dealing with different data sets and also new ways of presenting data. My networking skills have massively developed here through the opportunities to meet new people internally and externally and this has developed my people skills.

I very much enjoy my programme as i get to work with a variety of people across my service line and different regions and also different service lines. I am supported throughout my work and studies and get to benefit from flexible working with working from home, client site and the office.

My programme is structured well and my exams are split equally throughout the programme giving sufficient time to study and have a break from the studying to allow time to focus on client work. You have a counsellor, buddy and apprenticeship coach to support you in your studies and help you stay on track.

The training provider is very helpful in times of exams as you have several ways of contacting them and they always get back to you in a timely manner with any questions or queries you have. This makes you much more comfortable in this time of studying as they will always help.

My exams help me in my course as I develop a better understanding of financial statements which is what I deal with on a day to day basis. I work in restructuring so my exams have limited links to that specifically, but there are more exams I can continue to sit to help this.
