Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
My role as a tax assistant was very insightful into the Business world. I was privileged to be involved in processes such as corporation return with PESM, partial exemption.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
I was given enough responsibility for me to learn and improve but was not overly loaded with duties which overwhelmed me and therefore hindered my progress.

I was able to add to the business acumen I held. I was able to improve my Excel skills as well as my IT skills as I was required to use Excel to create journals and analyse data, and use the accounting software SAP to navigate, view invoices and post journals.
