Overview
I looked after the daily cash sheet, working out how much the company needs to borrow or deposit at the end of the day to be in credit and raising payments to banks. I also tracked interest rates and market rates to report to the wider team. Finally I completed BS reconciliations each month.
Skills
I have developed strong excel skills, able to use advanced functions, create pivot tables and program macros. I have learned how to use SAP, an accounting software. I have strengthened my communication skills through presenting. Organisation skills have developed as daily tasks are time critical.
Responsibilities
My main task was a critical task which had to be completed each day otherwise the company wouldn't have enough cash in its account at the end of the day. This was a big responsibility making my job role feel important.
Support & Guidance
I received excellent support from my manager and majority of my team. They explained tasks well and regularly gave me new tasks to do to further my development.
Culture
The atmosphere in the office was always relaxed and casual, making it an enjoyable work environment.
Your Impressions
I really enjoyed my placement, mainly due to my excellent team and working environment. However doing the same tasks each day did get monotonous.
Yes
Get stuck in, try and get involved in as many different opportunities as possible. Be comfortable with Excel as it is the main software you will use.
