Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
Main part of the job is helping prepare the draft tax computations for clients. As part of the whole process, you may have to also calculate the fee quotes charged to clients, as well as draft the engagement agreement between the firm and the client
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
A fair amount. Was able to complete the tasks independently with little oversight. Obviously, as any work would be, work is reviewed by a more senior member before it gets sent to the client.
Please rate how meaningful the work you were doing was

Previous to this role, I had no experience in accountancy. This role has given me some basic understanding of accounting, and helped me realise if I want to go into it all not.
Also been good for developing communication and relationship-building skills in a corporate environment.
