To give a graduate experience of working in an accountancy practice and gain assistance with all aspects of the business.
The business gained new skills and a fresh perspective whilst Assiya managed to develop commercial skills.
“The placement gave me an insight into an accountancy practice. I have learnt a lot about procedures, insolvency matters and management admin. I have also learnt the importance of skills like accuracy, punctuality - key skills in accountancy.”
“One of my learning objectives was to learn how to balance bank accounts; I achieved this as well as project management, communication skills, commercial awareness and problem solving.”
“I am undertaking the City and Guilds Professional Development Award alongside the placement which I feel is incredibly valuable and has allowed me to reflect on what I have achieved at HR Harris & Partners.”
“My attitude to work has slightly changed, as I found many benefits of working in small sized enterprises, such as a very friendly working atmosphere, where you can get plenty of support and advice.”
It was the first work placement that the company had ever hosted and they were delighted with the outcome. Mr Muxworthy, Managing Director said:
“Assiya is very industrious she is very quick at picking things up and is alwayseager for more work. Assiya has been working on her own to produce work of a quality standard.”
“The placement has been a valuable opportunity in which we were able to gain new skills for the organisation. Assiya's confidence in her own ability has improved and I am hopeful she has benefited from the experience. I am sure she has gained knowledge of aspects of accountancy and insolvency.”
