Overview
Daily reporting- updating excel files and submitting these for review. Making any adjustments requested throughout the day and then submitting the final version of the file at the end of the day. Weekly reporting- taking a more in depth look at figures from databases and excel and analysing any movements and why they have taken place.
Skills
I have developed problem solving, communication and excel skills throughout this internship. There were many opportunities to develop these skills on the job or attend seminars or workshops that target these transferrable skills. I learnt how to network effectively and I learnt about the use of excel macros.
Responsibilities
I took on a lot of responsibility during my time here, I took over two daily reports and was the sole producer of these reports during my internship. These reports were emailed out to hundreds of people across the company. this enabled me to learn quickly and made me feel like I was a significant member of the team.
Support & Guidance
I received a lot of support during my internship, there was a wealth of initial training and plenty of online resources to utilise. I was able to come to anyone t any level within the company with questions and they were very generous with their time.
Culture
The company culture is great, there were many events organised by the finance committee to step away from the desk, have some fun and network across finance. At times the work load in the office could be high and people would stay late but there was never any pressure on interns to stay late and everyone was more than willing to help me or give me some of their time.
Your Impressions
I really enjoyed my internship, there are numerous intern events organised to ensure you keep in touch with the whole cohort throughout. I also took advantage of the finance specific events to network and get to know the other finance interns. I found it to be a great culture and a great place to learn.
Yes
Research the company, be yourself and be organised. The assessment process is rigorous but it is your opportunity to show yourself off try to relax and be yourself! It is a 13 week internship so if you have any travel plans get them out the way beforehand!
