Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
3/5
I am learning how to become a service charge accountant by helping my colleagues with their work and completing my own tasks. I tick a lot of expenditure, create variance reports and Tennant Statements. I work closely with members of my team because my work affects theirs. I do not have many interactions externally.
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
3/5
I enjoy my programme and the people are friendly. My daily tasks are challenging and I am becoming better with them with practice.
Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
3/5
I have become more proficient in excel and accounting software from using them to aid my day to day work. I have learned how service charge works and also how to do certain tasks. I have also become more responsible because I know my work affects other peoples.
Structure and Support
How well organised/structured is your programme?
3/5
It is well organised. I have a good support network and I know where to go for help. I also know what to do and when to do it because the communication is very good.
How much support do you receive from your employer?
3/5
I receive a lot of support from my employer within my team and there is also support outside my team if any issues arise.
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
3/5
I have a lot of support because there is a meeting every 2 weeks to discuss what we are all struggling with and plenty of resources to help me achieve my goals.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
3/5
It has taught me key skills and definitions that help me better understand my daily tasks and it will make me more qualified for my role.
Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)
1/5
There are not but I am open to try some.
