Real Experiences from Our Interns

“Working in Tax as a Placement is a great experience as you develop a broad range of skills and knowledge. The Tax department is split between Advisory and Compliance work, however as a Placement you get the opportunity to experience both areas. Compliance work is focused around Tax returns, which means it is numbers driven and if numbers are your thing you will really enjoy getting stuck into these!” — Eimear Nyhan (Commerce student)
