To start, BDO is very inclusive and I work with some of the most smartest and kindest people I know. In terms of culture, people value respect and supporting each other.
Done lots of training around ethics, auditing standards and expectations, as well as digital audit tools and applications. I am also training from my ICAEW qualification.
Work varies a lot from being extremely busy to being very chill. I prefer seasons of normal workload which sometimes you have to create for yourself either by delegating work or requesting for more work. I haven't good communication and negotiation skills as a result.
Very organised. Everything is planned to the core. Schedules of work are sent 3 months before joining, and the first few months consists intensive training to ease one into the role.
Everyone is supportive and friendly. However, it is a place where you need a good deal of personal initiative and organisation.
A lot. I haven't so much about accounting that I enjoy it now than when I was in university.
