Please give an overview of the insight and what was involved on a day-to-day basis.
The first week was training but very quickly you are trusted to work on engagements with clients and have responsibility to prepare work papers. There is clear oversight and checking to ensure your work is okay but enough independence for you to grow and learn.
What was it like understanding all about the business and potential roles available?
There was a clear understanding of the business given and a career progression explained.
