Overview
Running reports for my team and producing accounting journals, centered around month end and month beginning, to report on the costs the company is incurring. Some involvement in group project work as well.
Skills
Excel, presentation, group work, communication, corporate etiquette
Responsibilities
Some responsibility with the assignment of independent work which the rest of the team relied on to be produced accurately and punctually.
Support & Guidance
Great line manager and team who were not judgemental of any mistakes and were always keen to help
Culture
Very laid-back company culture, friendly coworkers, and a welcoming environment.
Your Impressions
I really enjoyed it but hoped for some further learning opportunities.
Yes
Take the initiative to get to know your team very early on and take charge of your own learning, i.e. put yourself forward for any possible opportunities as even if your involvement is low or only on a shadowing level, it will still be informative.
