Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
5/5
All things tax related, from bookkeeping to personal tax returns, VAT returns & year end accounts as well as dealing with clients where I may be helping with general queries or providing tax advice.
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
4/5
Fairly enjoyable
Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
5/5
Improved computer skills as well as significant communication skills.
Structure and Support
How well organised/structured is your programme?
4/5
Employer front, organisation is perfect and not an issue at all. However training provider organisation could be improved as I have personally had issues with exam submissions & registrations before.
How much support do you receive from your employer?
5/5
My employer is always happy to support in any way possible, whether that be for work issues, exam help or personal issues, cannot fault at all.
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
4/5
Support from the training provider is good when preparing for exams or completing portfolio work.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
3/5
I don't think the qualification helps my role much. For the most part I've been ahead in work, working on more advanced things compared to what I'm learning at the time in my qualification, but some areas are applicable and can help understand the reasoning behind things.
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
We have team days/nights and do get given some opportunities to attend events outside of work.
Recommendations & Advice
Would you recommend Davenports Group Ltd to a friend?
Yes
Why?
I felt very welcomed when I joined with a friendly team, where there is a huge opportunity to expand your learning & knowledge which allows you to really kickstart a career. I've always felt comfortable and supported, not having issues with anyone and I couldn't suggest anything for them to improve on.
What tips or advice would you give to others applying to Davenports Group Ltd?
Just be yourself
