Supporting the team with month and quarter end tasks as required, such as preparing journals, as well as ad hoc projects like creating financial trackers.
Liaising with different departments locally and internationally both finance and non-finance to ensure up to date and accurate information is available to the relevant team in a timely manner.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
I was given more responsibility than I expected. I am responsible for the month end closing for one of the books that we manage. This fully depends on me to prepare journals and liaise with stakeholders to so that i can accurately forecast the expected costs.
I was also responsible for the monthly intercompany recharges.
