Associate Review

I carry out audit-related tasks as assigned and advised on by a Senior Associate or Manager. The tasks can be quite varied. I work primarily with Energy clients. I also have other responsibilities, such as occasionally attending client premises to observe them counting their stock/inventory.

Yes. I am developing various skills, including Excel skills, as well as completing my accounting qualifications which includes studying towards and developing knowledge of diverse subjects such as Business, Taxation and Assurance.

I enjoy my programme as I have the opportunity to try to tailor my experience to get the most out of it. I am given access to many tools to advance my personal and professional development, and the firm also invests significantly in our health and wellbeing.

The programme is quite well-structured given my employer is a very large organisation and has many people working towards ensuring that everything occurs smoothly. Of course the structure and organisation can be improved further, such as by providing clearer information about the programme structure before we started, but it is very good overall.

They provide a lot of support in the form of a wellbeing allowance, feedback opportunities, potential travel opportunities, coaching etc.

They provide study leave, they pay for very good quality teaching, they pay for the exams, and they ensure we have plenty of question practice.

It helps me gain further knowledge and apply myself better. Of course further improvements in this would largely fall under the remit of the accounting body rather than the employer.

Yes, including sports teams and faith-based networks.

Yes

The organisation is very large and diverse. Your experience is what you make of it. There is the potential for great development with hard work.

Just apply and take the opportunity to get to know the firm and whether you are a good fit for the firm and whether the firm is a good fit for you.
