Assurance

Top Insider Advice

We all start our career as a beginner, so don't be afraid to seek additional help or clarification if you require it. There really is no such thing as a silly question, so ask as many as you need! I believe that the best way to learn is to ask questions. This will show initiative and highlights your ability to communicate with colleagues.

What do you like about your job and the company?

Personally, the career progression opportunities that are available at EY continually motivate me to strive for excellence- meeting deadlines, producing high quality work and effectively communicating with my colleagues. The learning opportunities that are available, such as the Chartered Accountant qualification, also motivate me as I can develop my skills and knowledge. Finally, I like that you are exposed to a wide range of clients and industries and that you are able to work in different audit teams, improving your network and collaboration skills.

Greatest achievements

Since only joining the firm a few months back, my greatest achievement has definitely been completing my first year of ICAS. I found the experience very challenging at times but finding out I had achieved first time passes made all the studying extremely worth it.

Top Insider Advice

Match your values to the company that you are applying to and make sure both what they do within work projects and outside of this engages your interests so that you have the motivation to develop yourself professionally and personally throughout your career journey. It will always present much more positively if you are truly excited and enjoy what you will do in your daily role.
