Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
The role consists of both structured cyclical work and also of the ad hoc nature including:
- Budget & Forecasting for SAP UKI
- Business analytics
- Management accounting
- Reporting for Key stakeholders including CFO and MD
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
Since starting the internship I was handed a large amount of responsibility from the intern prior. As I have developed through out the year I have been able to take on more and more responsibility including providing reporting on a quarterly basis to the c-suite of SAP UKI, developing an Accounts Receivable dashboard that I have now gone onto introduce to the wider European finance community within SAP as best practice.
Please rate how meaningful the work you were doing was
