    Overview

  • 1. Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.

    • I assist in tax analysis of capital expenditure on a wide range of property acquisitions/developments, delivering claim reports to a high standard to ensure clients’ expectations are met. I help speed processes up by integrating additional workflows and technology into existing frameworks to help bring additional business and capacity to the team.

    Skills

  • 2. Have you learnt any new skills, or developed your existing skills?

    • Yes, I've been given a multitude of different opportunities ranging from calls with the global team to huge exposure to the commercial real estate industry. I am currently working on some exciting projects to bring graduates from other firms and collaborate as the future leaders of these firms.

    Responsibilities

  • 3. Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?

    • Yes a lot of responsibility was given - but also a lot of opportunties were provided and it was up to us whether we wanted to pursue them or not!

  • Please rate how meaningful the work you were doing was

    Support & Guidance
