    Skills

  • 2. Have you learnt any new skills, or developed your existing skills?
  • Yes, it was an incredible experience. The team was very welcoming, and even though I had no prior tax knowledge when I started the internship, within four weeks, I was brought up to speed and felt confident in completing tasks on my own. By the end of my time at KPMG, I was able to keep up in briefings and offer my own insight on issues that clients were faced with.
