    Overview

  • 1. Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
  • I shadowed a range of people within the team and was able to join in on internal meetings as well as client meetings. I helped to draft emails, complete admin tasks and create resources for a team strategy day. Alongside this, the interns were placed in teams to create a presentation for a case study.


    Skills

  • 2. Have you learnt any new skills, or developed your existing skills?
  • I have improved upon my PowerPoint and Excel skills as well as general email/letter drafting. In terms of technical tax knowledge I have greatly increased my knowledge and learnt specifically about shares and share options. I have developed my network and worked hard to create meaningful connections with the people I have met in the team and across EY.
