Overview
in the first 6 months of my placement i spent my time preparing audited accounts using RSM's software's, undergoing review checks. The last 6 months involved preparing corporation tax returns and entities of all sizes and offering tax advice to clients.
Skills

Responsibilities
Yes, throughout my time i have been given the responsibility to prepare comps and accounts by myself, with support where needed. i was given the trust very early on which allowed me to progress fast.
Support & Guidance
A buddy system is set up within the firm whereby before starting a team member provides and offers any advice about the role and training throughout. they are your 'go to' person for anything. my buddy has been supportive for the full year regular check-ins, as well as my managers and both departments.
Culture
