Job Satisfaction at William Buck

Each day can look very different. I spend a lot of time building relationships with my colleagues and advising clients - whether this be over the phone or via email. The rest of my time is spent meeting our clients needs, whether this be compliance or business planning.

I have enough work that I am constantly busy but not overwhelmed by the workload.

I complete company, trust and individual tax returns, and support directors with any ad hoc tasks that assist them in their advisory work.

Preparing Financials and Tax Returns for Business Entities and Individuals, collaborating with clients and my team to prepare these to the best of my ability, and building relationships with our clients.

Satisfied with the variety involved in my day-to-day responsibilities.

I help on certain complex tax projects and do the initial research.

As a Graduate Auditor, I am assigned work by Senior Auditors. I usually spend about 2-4 weeks working on a client. I do stock takes and I work on testing the accounts of a client, for example revenue testing, expenses testing, trade and other payables testing - we test these accounts for materiality issues. For example, if accounts have increased or decreased by more than a certain % year-on-year than we need to investigate with the client as to why. We also do some other testing called reasonableness testing - which is basically where we test an amount to ensure that the movement is reasonable or unreasonable during a financial year.

I complete financial accounts and tax returns for a variety of clients.

Each day looks quite different but I am largely focused on financial accounts preparation, preparation of tax returns, activity statements and the occasional consulting work.

I get exposure to a lot of clients and tasks so you're always learning something new.

We complete audits and half year reviews for a variety of clients. This consists of various account testing, physical stock counts and consistent communication with the client and fellow staff members.
