Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.

As a Commercial Finance Intern, I support the finance team with day-to-day analysis and reporting. This can include tracking sales and performance against plans, helping prepare forecasts and budgets, checking data, and turning financial information into insights for commercial teams.

Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?

Yes, I was given meaningful responsibility during my internship, with tasks that contributed to the team’s day-to-day work. I supported reporting and analysis, helped monitor commercial performance, and took ownership of assigned tasks while checking in with my manager when needed. It was a valuable opportunity to build confidence and apply what I’d learned in a real business setting.

Please rate how meaningful the work you were doing was

Skills Development

Have you learnt any new skills, or developed your existing skills?

Yes, I’ve developed both technical and interpersonal skills. I’ve strengthened my analytical and problem-solving abilities through commercial finance work, improved my confidence with reporting and financial data, and become more comfortable communicating insights and working with different teams. I’ve also learned more about how finance supports commercial decisions.
