      In my latest role as a trainee accountant, I have gained more experience working as part of an intimate team to build upon my time and Morgwn Atkins Limited by working in Rural Services at Old Mill. The most common task in this role is preparing client accounts for review. This involves taking raw data from client’s records, whether it be a cash book or digital records from a multitude of different accounting softwares. This role has significantly developed my general knowledge of accounting in general as well as furthering my Microsoft Office skills, specifically on Excel. Working in a relatively small office has enabled me to gain a vast amount of knowledge from more senior colleagues which included working closely with the Director of Rural Services. Show less

      My position at Wincanton allowed me to obtain an overview of the whole finance department in Britain’s largest logistics firm. My role included taking various requests from my colleagues in the finanace department, these were normally Excel related queries. The main reason for my employment at Wincanton was to contribute towards the company’s annual report. I worked under the Corporate Reporting Accountant to process amendments to the annual report and relay information to the software providers on which the report was being produced. I improved in areas such as communication, time managment and writing ability. Show less

      My position at Novia Financial gave me a real insight into how wealth managment platforms manage the money of their clients. Novia liaises with Financial Advisers in order to fulfill client requests. I worked on the Payments Out team which deals with Withdrawals, Internal Transfers, Deceased Cases, ISA Transfers and general queries. This position has given me a better understanding of the expectations that Financial Advisors have and the service they aim to provide to their clients. I have also bettered my understanding of working life in a full time position. Show less

      My position at Sainsbury's provided me with an income during my studies as well as great experience of working life. The skills I acquired and developed from this job are, in my opinion, easily transferable, these include: time management, communication and teamwork. I have moved between stores in order to continue my education at Bath Spa University, which allowed me to work with a variety of different people albeit in the same organisation.

      In July 2012, I had the fantastic opportunity to gain some work experience, working in the Financial Planning & Analysis team at Admiral Taverns. I worked as part of a team providing analysis on business trends in relation to sales/volume by pub, area and total company, company expenditure and capital investment. This required me to have a good understanding and use of Excel, Word, PowerPoint and the information I was collating. I had to work to deadlines and ensure that I provided accurate data for use by the board and directors. It also gave me a good understanding of working life and what an employer’s expectations are.
