Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
5/5
My role mainly consists of the accounts payable aspect in the finance department. I mainly deal with supplier queries, etc. along with supplier statement reconciliations ensuring that accounts are kept pristine clean to avoid any inconveniences.
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
5/5
I thoroughly enjoy my programme as there's always something new to learn and develop on.
Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
5/5
I've definitely learn many new skills in my role such as specific formulas (VLOOKUP, etc) on Excel that considerably improves efficiency whilst doing supplier reconciliations. I have also developed my communication and confidence to the point where I'm able to speak to suppliers in a concise manner to resolve certain issues that may arise.
Structure and Support
How well organised/structured is your programme?
5/5
My programme is well structured as I haven't come across any issues at all.
How much support do you receive from your employer?
5/5
The support I receive from ESG is great. With my department, i'm able to go to everyone for support and guidance with no hesitation as the team fosters a great working environment for you to feel comfortable with anything that may arise.
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
5/5
I've got my own personal skills coach at First Intuition Chelmsford who has been great throughout my programme. The study material you receive for the qualifications are also top-tier as I've managed to pass my exams with no issues.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
5/5
The AAT qualification definitely helps big time as you gain a foundational understanding of the accounts function within the course material and from the tutors who have experience working in a finance function. You're able to pick up off of what you learn and apply it to your everyday work.
Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)
5/5
Yes - there's plenty of activities that happen throughout the year to enjoy.
