Overview of the Role

Overall, how would you describe your experience at BDO?
BDO provides a welcoming, challenging and enjoyable workplace. We get to partake in the preparation of audit reports and test Financial statements.
What are the main responsibilities of the role and which elements of the role do you enjoy the most?
We work on a variety of different areas of the financial statements, that is structured by coaching/mentoring so that we can partake in each Financial Statement Area before we qualify. Each job provides different insights and we are given the opportunity to travel to client sites to ask questions in person, when testing the accounts. Highlights for me would be the breadth of work, the travel and being provided opportunities to work with clients in person.
