Corporate assistant Review

My role involves working closely with a wider audit team to provide audit services to various clients. We check their financial statements and reporting, select samples from these and ensure that they are accurate and fair. This ensures that there is no misstatement or fraud in a company's statements.

I have developed my communication skills as I am in close contact with my team members and managers, and clients whom I have never met before. I have also developed my analytical skills as I have to review a lot of information about companies and their financials on a daily basis

I enjoy my programme very much. The people at the company were welcoming and friendly from my first day. There is a lot to enjoy outside of work and on the job, there is not too much pressure or deadlines as I am still learning everyone is very patient and helpful.

The programme is very well organised. The outlook calendar helps to organise my meetings and all communications are clear and booked into my calendar to ensure that I never miss a meeting. There are also training sessions booked months in advance so that I know when I will need to inform a manager of my absence.

I receive a lot of support from my employer. I receive support in my exams which aren't part of my job as there is a designated team for all my queries and concerns. I also receive support on the job as there's always someone I can contact for help.

I receive a lot of support. There are regular check ins with the exam team, every 2 weeks. These provide an opportunity to raise any questions I have regarding my exams and the team will look into these. I am also given adequate study leave to prepare for any exams

My qualification is relevant to the work that I complete on a day to day basis. So when I am revising for exams and learning content, I am learning processes and skills that I use in my job which helps me to keep improving as I go progress in the job

There are so many extra-curricular activities to get involved in such as quarterly social events to get involved in. There are also weekly sports activities such as football which help to relieve stress and meet other employees. Professional networking events are also organised, whether in the office or off site.

Mazars has a calm and welcoming corporate culture. The training provided and the one to one help is good and helps me to grow in my role everyday. It is also an opportunity to challenge yourself day to day with new tasks and activities to complete and work through with your team.

Always make sure you ask questions when you don't understand something or anything is unclear. Your colleagues or managers will be happy to explain in detail and doing this will give you a chance to gain much more knowledge in your job role and be more independent moving forwards.
