Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
4/5
The apprentice programme requires me to rotate across the four main finance functions within the organisation, Accounts Receivable, Accounts Payable, General Ledger & Compliance. To date, I have covered all the 4 functions. This has enabled me to apply theoretical learning into everyday practice.
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
5/5
I really enjoy my programme, from the team members to the study and the work itself. This apprenticeship is really in depth and my knowledge is constantly pushed to improve myself and this is something I find really beneficial.
Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
5/5
Currently a member of AAT after completing my Level 4 qualification. Gained knowledge and skills in areas such as leadership, analysis, communication. From my role and the rotations around the functions it has allowed me to understand the importance of teamwork to drive success in the business.
