I work on the valuation of businesses and assets across a wide range of industries and geographies. Day to day this involves building up discount rates and studying market transactions to create excel workpapers and powerpoint reports.
I have learnt how to value a company based on the income, market and cost approaches and this has honed my financial modelling skills.
I really enjoy learning about new companies and assets and it is a steep learning curve which means that there is no time when I am not improving or learning more.
Very well structured, we have regular progress reviews and coach calls and I know the direction I am heading towards over the 3 years.
Lots of support, for example we have protected study leave days and experienced people in the business who can help if I have any queries.
Bpp are good at providing the course content and they tend to schedule extra revision sessions and drop ins if you are struggling with anything.
Becoming a chartered accountant is very useful for my day to day role because we often review valuations for financial reporting purposes - e.g. provisions so if we didn't have the accounting knowledge it would be harder.
Yes I am part of two sports teams at EY and we also have networking events with other teams in the business.
Yes
Great people and a steep learning curve to challenge you to bring your best self to work.
Be positive, be curious and be yourself!
