Overview of Experience

Please give an overview of the insight and what was involved on a day-to-day basis.
I would attend client calls and write the briefings of these calls afterwards. I would complete tax returns for these clients. I also would correspond through email with these clients to update them or ask for more information from them. Furthermore I attended team meetings and briefings where I could understand and develop my tax knowledge.
What was it like understanding all about the business and potential roles available?
It was interesting to see the the variety of roles and the multiple service lines the firm offers. When facing more technical language, it took me a while to be familiar with these concepts but my colleagues took time out of their day to help me. They further helped me to understand more about the business as I shadowed the partner and hopped in a lot of calls that gave me insight into more of the business and what it offers.

Skills Development

Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
Yes, I learnt interpersonal and teamwork schools with colleagues. I also began to understand the technology behind the tax returns and various tax terms and processes. This gave me confidence to attempt at something new. I developed my communication skills both in person and through email. I met more new people and developed my relationship-building skills as well as my confidence to speak to people I have not met before.
