  • 1. Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
  • I am currently working in the audit sector which means I am on client site for the majority of the apprenticeship. At the client site you will work on different areas relating to financial accounts. You have the responsibility to do your own work within the deadlines.

  • 2. Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
  • Yes lots! When you join you may have little to no knowledge of financial accounting. KPMG will help bring you to a standard where you can work independently in a short amount of time. I have improved my time management and have become competent in many accounting areas since joining.
