    Overview

  • 1. Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
  • I worked in EY's International Tax and Transaction Services (ITTS) team. The work was varied and I had the opportunity to experience many different areas of work that the team undertakes. I was involved in drafting MSAs, learning about new tax legislation, and helping the team on client CbCR requirements. Overall, the work has given me insight into EY's Services and how they operate.
