Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
4/5
My role can involve a wide range of opportunities, from sole trade and partnership accounts to larger limited companies. I'm involved in drafting accounts, sometimes from start to finish or otherwise for my colleague to help them out in certain areas. Also reception cover is something that crops up every now and again, but I like this as its client interaction.
