My manager always helps me show new tasks to complete which helps me develop my skills and knowledge within Finance. I have also been able to work in different areas of Finance to understand what each role does.

I have meetings often with my college online to go through what we have learnt and check I understand everything. I also get given lots of revision materials to go through to help me revise for exams and get study time during work hours.

AAT has helped me understand my job role more clearly as I understand when to debit or credit accounts and how to reconcile accounts at year end to check invoices have been paid.
Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)
3/5
There are nights out in the Finance department every quarter where for example we go bowling or to an escape room etc... We also have lots of charity events each month to get involved in like sponsored walks and prize raffles.
