The Role
The internship was a very enjoyable experience. I was able to gain a lot of insight into life at BDO and also gain valuable experience working with clients and performing audit work.
Within the office and out at clients I was made to feel like a valuable part of the team by my colleagues.
Management were always available whenever I needed any support or help.
Out at clients I was always kept busy with interesting and important audit work.
I was given a great deal of responsibility throughout my internship.
I feel this experience has allowed me to develop a number of skills. Hopefully this experience will help with my final year at university.
