Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
I carry out VAT checks, complete balance sheet reconciliations and intercompany billing tasks. I have also learnt how to post month-end journals and carry out the relevant checks so that everything is in on time.
My team is split internationally, so I have been given the opportunity to work with people from all over the world.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
Yes I was given lots of responsibilities. I was treated as a full member of the team and not as a placement student who was only at the company for a year. My colleagues trusted me and helped me where I needed it throughout my entire placement year.
