Overview of Experience
Please give an overview of the insight and what was involved on a day-to-day basis.
The management and directors provided me with many projects and learning opportunities to better my prospects in the profession. I am given the opportunity to partake in an assessment centre to be fast-tracked for a graduate scheme. I have been given the chance to meet with many directors, partners, and even the global head of my department. Mazars provides you with all of the resources you need to learn the foundations of the profession.
What was it like understanding all about the business and potential roles available?
At first there is a lot to consider as there are many different departments with a focus in audit, however, within a day it is easy to get a feel for the business. Everyone is so approachable that you can ask about their department and learn which role suits you best.

This internship has largely improved my financial literacy skills and knowledge of the finance industry.

I have also developed my MS office skills (Excel, Powerpoint, Word) and my soft skills, speaking with colleagues from a diverse range of teams.
