Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
4/5
I am an Audit Associate in the Charity and Not-for-Profit team, undertaking a wide variety of tasks from accounts preparation to statutory audit. I work on a wide variety of clients across the year. These include, but are not limited to: religious clients, further education and academy clients, grant giving charities, and well known larger charities.
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
4/5
I enjoy the ACA graduate programme - there is a balance between work and training which means that I always feel actively challenged. Buzzacott also has a thriving social environment, with a wide variety of staff networks and organised events throughout the calendar year.
Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
4/5
I have developed a great deal since starting my apprenticeship at Buzzacott. I came to Buzzacott with no prior accounting knowledge and I was given all the training I needed to become an able accountant. Not only have I developed technically, but also my client skills have grown through frequent contact with clients.
Structure and Support

The ACA qualification is vital in my role as an Audit Associate. Having a thorough understanding of the technicality of accounting is highly important in undertaking audits, particularly as I move through the apprenticeship
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 are a number of extra curricular activities at Buzzacott - I would say there is not a week that goes by without something in my calendar
