    Overview

  • 1. Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
  • It varies a lot day to day. I help with a lot of projects to improve productivity and efficiency. I work with EY a lot who help provide financial services to us. I then have my own responsibilities to make sure we meet deadlines on time and keep in line with regulations and controls. I use excel a good amount but also talk to people from all around the world regarding tax matters.


    Skills

  • 2. Have you learnt any new skills, or developed your existing skills?
  • I have developed my excel knowledge, ability to communicate with others, ability to write professional emails and organise my time efficiently. I have become a more productive worker I believe. I've learnt a lot of new financial terms and developed my overall financial understanding.
