Excel is much better and comfortable with complicated formula on large data sheets. Public speaking as presenting in front of large teams variance analysis. Accounting in industry, outside of a university module and how large global businesses operate.

Company Culture

What was the company culture and general atmosphere like?

Very relaxed with a get the work done mentality, with flexible WFH and work hours outside of month and quarter end. Lots of social events fully expensed by social committee after work and large intern cohort so lots of socializing and potential to make friends.
