FP&A Intern Review

Day-to-day I would help with any ad-hoc requests that my team would have, whilst during month end, forecast spend each month to ensure accurate practice. Also would liaise with non-finance business partners to help them with any finance queries. Would refresh reports and used SAP regularly to look at invoices.

I've learnt new skills such as, how to communicate to non-business finance partners and developed my Powerpoint and Excel skills. So improved my presentation, teamwork and communication skills.

I was given more responsibility than I expected, which was good because it allowed me to learn quicker and have to develop the skills faster which helped the initial transition period. So yes definitely!

I received plenty of support and guidance during my placement/internship, I was very fortunate to have worked with a great team and great colleagues in and around the business, so people were always there if I needed help with anything.

The company culture is what makes the company, everyone is so friendly and nice, definitely a company worth working for!

I enjoyed my placement thoroughly, I learnt so much and even when the work got tough or days were long, it never felt that bad because the team was always there to support. Definitely would recommend!

Yes

The advice I would give is focus on writing a good cover letter that covers all the points in the job description, make sure you're enthusiastic about the industry and the work and you should be fine! Be yourself also, the early careers team is very good at placing people in the right places, so there will be a spot for you, no matter your personality!
