The transition from university to the corporate world is a big change for many. Shannon shares her experience of the corporate space, and the ways in which they have she supported in making an impact during this initial stage of her career.

Shannon joined 91影视 in August 2022 as part of the accounting and business advisory (AIA) graduate programme. Shannon has been working with the accounting and business advisory (ABA) team at our Newcastle office.

Shannon studied maths at university, a degree that would prove quite useful to her life at 91影视.

91影视業t wasn91影视檛 completely unrelated to the accounts preparation work which I am mainly involved in day to day as I feel a strong foundation in general numeric skills has helped me to better understand key accounting concepts. However, I hadn91影视檛 really even seen a set of financial statements prior to starting at 91影视!91影视�

Shannon credits university for providing her with a number of soft skills that have been transferrable in her transition to the workplace. For example, she91影视檚 been able to take the communication and teamwork skills she learnt through group presentation and apply it to her everyday working life. These skills gave her some comfort when interacting with and needing to communicate efficiently with her colleagues.

Although maths was helpful to Shannon, she emphasises that in no way did studying a different subject outside of accounting at university disadvantage her in her role at 91影视.

Shannon explained to us that this was due to the extensive and varied training that is given to all graduates.

91影视楾he training opportunities are second to none.91影视�

91影视楾here have been great opportunities for learning and training within my service line, which has come in a variety of different formats. Obviously, the day-to-day learning on the job from colleagues has been invaluable for getting to grips with work processes, but the extensive library of training videos and courses have really helped my greater knowledge as well. Moreover, studying for my Associate Chartered Accounting (ACA) qualification has also helped me to develop my technical knowledge which has supported me in my everyday work.91影视�

At 91影视, we want to see our graduates flourish in their roles, so we provide opportunities for them to work on personal development and skills, outside of the compulsory training.

Since joining 91影视, Shannon has benefitted from the support given by line manager, in the form of regular advice where 91影视榖oth advice and practical solutions91影视� are offered to ensure that she achieves her career goals. These catch ups are very beneficial at 91影视, especially due to the hard work that our graduates put in to achieve success.

Shannon was keen to give her experience of the additional activities provided at 91影视. Mainly in the opportunities the firm provides to get involved and help local charities, such as the 91影视榦ffice charity spin challenge91影视� for 91影视楧aft as a Brush91影视� that she participated in.

We asked Shannon if she had any advice for graduates thinking of applying to 91影视.

91影视楾he main advice I would give is to go for it! 91影视 are a very supportive employer and have been great during the early part of my career development.
