Tax analyst Review

I work as a Tax analyst, which involves many things. No day is the same. During compliance season (Sept to Jan) it is mostly working on tax returns but otherwise it is billing, admin and working on client projects. I also run the modified payroll on some of my clients.

I have learnt and developed new skills such as communication, organisation and leadership. In general I feel like I have mostly developed skills rather than learning new ones.

I did not enjoy the apprecentiship programme as it was not organised well. If the programme was structed better and communicated well it would be much more enjoyable. I felt like I was always told things last minute and could not prepapre in order to deliver my best work.

As stated above my programme was not well structred and therefore not enjoyable. None of my team members knew I was part of this programme and did not apprecieted the work I had to do outside of my normal day to day role. In summary my programme was not well organised

Once my team knew about my apprenticeship they were able to be more supportive. I had to communicate this to my team. No information was provided by my employer to my team and therefore they were unaware of my tasks and responsibilities as part of the apprenticeship.

My training provider was fairly supportive. Because the programme was disorganised it is difficult to determine if they were being supportive or not. I felt like I was not given the complete picture and a lot of the times the information was relayed late. I wish there was more communication.

I do not see how my apprenticeship qualification helps me with me perform better in my role. It has not changed or helped my day-to-day basis.

There are extra-curricular activities to get involved with at work. I have signed up for football and netball. There are also work events. Work is also flexible so you can continue with your hobbies outside of work.

Yes

Because I think it is a good company to work for. The people are nice and supportive. I do enjoy coming to work and the variety of work I get to do in my role. Most days will be different so I am never bored. I've had a positive experience.

Be yourself, be proactive, be responsible, take ownership and work hard. For the interview I think it is important to be keen and show that you want the job, but not to lie. It is important to be honest as people will appreciate your honesty. The onboarding process is straightforward.
