Hear from our previous intern Abbie:

'The training given was absolutely fantastic and completely prepared me for joining the office. It was so incredibly informative especially as someone coming from a non-finance or accounting background. It was also really reassuring to meet all the interns who were in the same boat as me. Both my people manager and my buddy have been amazing; I truly couldn't have asked for better people to guide me through my internship! I've felt so supported by not only them, but everyone in the office, to thrive.'
