My day-to-day varies depending on what workload I receive from my manager and how busy it is within our company. However, I do start my day by checking my emails in the morning if any emails have been sent in my absence. My job role entails me doing VAT returns, confirmation statements, HMRC calls, client transfers, Payroll etc.
