    The Role

    4/5
  • 4. How busy were you on a daily basis?

    • In a management accounting role there are busy periods such as month-end, forecasts and budgeting. During these periods it was very busy and I was working longer hours outside the typical 9 till 5. I did not mind the longer hours as I gained great exposure working in a finance role but have to mark it down due to the question format

    • I had a huge amount of responsibility such as delivering several quarterly forecasts and the FY14 budget.
