I am currently studying 'Advanced Accountancy with Placement' at Queen's University Belfast. I want to gain some professional experience in an accountancy firm to put what I am learning in University to practice. I think my background of working in an office for 4 summers makes me an ideal candidate for an Accounting summer internship. I understand what it is like to work in an office and the level of work that is expected from an employee every day.
Kane Group is a business run by my family. It is owned by my Dad and my uncles. Every summer for the past 4 years I have worked in my family's business. I have worked with Accountants, Quantity Surveyor, Estimators and Engineers.
I have spent the past 2 summers helping set up estimating systems in the company. I had to get information from all over the business. I had to work with multiple employees and work in teams to set up this system.
Working in my family business has allowed me to learn what it is like to work in an office and work 40 hour weeks. I also gained experience using teams, excel and even being in meetings with managers. I also learned about meeting deadlines.
I am a very hard working person I have very good numeracy skills I can work well in a team I am able to use excel and I am good with computers
