Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
My role would be to assist with journaling every month to create the reports needed to show our financial position, as well as costing shipments of vehicles that were coming into the UK. I would have monthly meetings with other departments to discuss their financial positions and pay out rebates to Fleet customers.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
Your role is very much your own work so you have plenty of responsibility to look after your own work load. This also provides flexibility to plan your days out to ensure work is completed when necessary but also allowing planning for downtime or holidays effectively.
Please rate how meaningful the work you were doing was

Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills, or developed your existing skills?
I have substantially developed my Excel skills through the use of Power Query to automate a portion of my work which has been a great thing to learn, alongside improving my communication skills in all the meetings that I would lead.
