Senior Associate Review

I work in audit and this involves working directly with clients and investigating the financial statements to provide assurance and ensure they are not materially misstated.

I previously have had no experience in accounting, the apprenticeship gave me the skills and training to become a chartered accountant. This has developed skills I previously developed at university such as mathematics.

I thoroughly enjoyed the programme, whilst it was challenging, I felt supported throughout.

The programme is very well organised and the programme is structured to fit around my work commitments. This has meant I have had time off to study and I was aware far in advance of what I would be doing and when.

PwC supported me throughout this process whether that be formally through have sufficient paid time off to study or through informal meetings with my manager to check on my progress.

Kaplan provide you with a talent coach who regularly checks in and ensures you understand the progress you have made and outstanding tasks you have to complete.

Due to not have any previous accounting experience and having studied economics at university, the qualification has given me a wider understanding of my role and the impact it has.

PwC is known for its social opportunities, similar to university, the office has different societies such as charity, social mobility, sport and social. This involves the societies planning office wide activities which are fully funded.

The pay and benefits in my opinion are better than other graduate schemes are offering.

Ensure you are up to date with PwC and the impact they are making in the industry!
