While studying Accounting and Finance, I was fortunate to spend my five-week placement at MoneySuperMarket as a member of the Accounts Payable team.
During my placement, I had the opportunity to work in a diverse office atmosphere which helped me to better understand the way large companies operate. Furthermore, I acquired the appropriate knowledge regarding the accounting processes involved in everyday business activities. I was able to practice performing tasks using accounting software which increases my chances of becoming a successful accountant in the future.
Throughout the five weeks of my placement, I was consistently interpreting financial data and grasped the general concepts of working within a finance department which has encouraged me to follow this career path and has prepared me for life after graduation.
My placement was fulfilling and a rare opportunity to both test my abilities and learn vital skills in the financial sector which I would never have attained outside of this placement.
