Corporate Assistant Review

Standard audit work. Testing of samples, judgmental areas, coaching juniors, planning and completion of audit packs.

Learnt extensively. Broad knowledge of various industries, accounting knowledge and managing client relationships.

Professional level exams are sat three at a time, which is very mentally taxing. As a school leaver, the transition from L4 AAT to L7 professional is quite a jump and there is a lot of supporting apprenticeship work to complete

Organisation has fluctuated due to the Early Careers Department changing constantly the past few years. Seems to be more organised and providing better support now

Lots of support received and available. Supportive managers and colleagues.

Plenty of support, some lessons taught in person which is helpful. Other self taught lessons in own time is not preferable but is due to the decision of ECD rather than training provider

Qualification helps to apply what I am doing as part of work. Benefitscomprehension and allows me to add value

Social activities are frequently organised. Generally aimed at young adults and thoroughly enjoyed.

Yes

Supportive environment, small enough office to form strong connections with others and receive lots of support.

Consider the service line you want to go into. Audit is great for breadth, whereas tax is great for depth but is quite specialised.
