Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:

4/5

My job role includes working with clients to ensure financial statements are materially true and fair.

To what extent do you enjoy your programme?

3/5

Somewhat agree. At times it is long hours and high stress situations, but in most the good weighs out the bad.

Skills Development

Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?

4/5

New Skils:
> Teamwork
> Leadership
> Flexibility
> Public Speaking

Structure and Support

How well organised/structured is your programme?

3/5

Rather well organized - clear pathway. However due to the size of the firm, the process is sometimes too centralised to accommodate for personal circumstances.

How much support do you receive from your employer?

4/5

Lots of support. There is a counseling manager who I have bi-weekly catch ups with who is there to understand and back my corner.

How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?

4/5

Kaplan provides as much support as you push and need. There is access to study sessions and tutors for any help.

How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?

3/5

I believe that my qualification has helped me establish myself within my position and has given me knowledge on areas on audit which otherwise I would struggle with.

Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)

4/5

There is networking events through ICAEW. Within EY Cambridge there is also charitable events such as Bingo, Bake Sales and team games. There is also a 'Family Day' where everyone comes together once a month.
