Spring into Deloitte - Audit and Tax Review

The Deloitte Spring Programme was a fast-paced, hands-on week that gave me a practical look at how Audit and Tax work together in the real world. My team and I dove deep into a company's financial numbers, identifying important Audit risks and creating innovative Tax recommendations to help the business improve. The best part was when we pulled all our research together to create practical ideas and presented them directly to senior Deloitte partners. This experience really showed me how to explain complex business value clearly to important company leaders.

A huge part of the programme was getting an inside look at Deloitte's wide range of roles and the supportive company culture. We listened to talks from professionals across different teams, like Audit, Tax, and Consulting, which gave us a clear picture of how everyone works together. A key insight was seeing how much value they place on teamwork and mentorship, which made the roles feel less abstract. Learning about their day-to-day work and the strong sense of community made the career paths feel very real and encouraging.

The programme significantly developed my teamwork and presentation skills. Collaborating with my team was essential for tackling the integrated Audit and Tax case study; I learned how to efficiently divide complex analysis and blend different viewpoints to meet our tight deadline. Presenting our final, complex recommendations directly to senior Deloitte partners boosted my confidence and taught me the crucial skill of simplifying technical financial insights into clear, persuasive points for high-level stakeholders.

The overall atmosphere of the Deloitte Spring Programme was notably welcoming and inclusive. The company culture was immediately apparent through the friendly and supportive approach of all staff members, from recent graduates to senior partners. This made it very easy to feel comfortable right away, encouraging us to engage fully, ask lots of questions, and collaborate effectively with new people, which fostered a strong sense of community throughout the entire experience.

I enjoyed the really enjoyed the programme; one of the most valuable experiences I've had so far. The level of responsibility felt just right; tackling a real-world company case study was challenging, but the constant support and the genuinely welcoming and inclusive atmosphere made the whole process motivating and fun. Getting to apply my knowledge directly and then present our strategic recommendations to senior partners was incredibly rewarding, making the entire experience both highly enjoyable and insightful.

My best advice for anyone applying to Deloitte is to start practicing early and structure your thoughts clearly. First, make sure you understand the difference between Audit) and Tax. Second, the online assessments are a big hurdle, so practice them early to get your timing down. Finally, when you answer questions, focus on precise and professional communication and use clear examples from your own life, like a school project or a sports team, to show off your real skills in teamwork and problem-solving.
