i construct finance reports ready to distribute to the wider team, i use different types of software such as SAP and SNAP to be able to process and raise invoices, i communicate with external partners on a quarterly basis regarding music royalties and other ad hoc tasks throughout the week to help support the finance team as well as others
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
I was slowly given more responsibility as the months progressed. At first it was just the basic weekly tasks to start off with then next thing i know i was responsible for creating slides on a new exciting project. I then got to present my findings to the managing director. I was given new tasks by different team members such as the strategy team as well as marketing

Company Culture

What was the company culture and general atmosphere like?
It honestly felt like a giant family, it was a great and positive environment to work in. we celebrated lots of events together from summer/Christmas parties to even celebrating the 7th birthday of Hayu. Everyone spoke to everyone no matter what team you was working in and if i was curious about another teams day to day work. setting up a meeting and getting involved was not hard at all!
