As a summer job before heading into my final year of University at Leeds, I spent 7 weeks as a Summer Student at Deloitte Vancouver. I had the opportunity to work in various departments (Audit, Financial Advisory, Tax, ERS). This enabled me to gain a sound understanding of how a professional services firm operates, and how they are run on a day to day basis. Rotating into different departments, allowed me to meet new people and test different skills, thus developing my business knowledge. Whilst on the job, I acquired the following technical skills: • Sound use of AS2 (Auditing Program) & Excel • The tying-in of figures • Audit Review • Reconciliation & Minute review • T2 Returns

As part of my university degree, I spent a year (September 2009-June 2010) in Moscow, in order to improve my Russian. Whilst studying at Moscow State University (MGU), I also worked as a part-time intern at Deloitte. I began working in the Marketing section, and half way through the year transitioned into the Financial Advisory department. This was a hugely beneficial experience, as I acquired a great deal of business knowledge and was able to put it into practice. Whilst at Deloitte, I worked on a variety of different tasks, which tested a broad range of skills: • Editing (in Russian & English) • Compilation of handbooks for new employees • Research and analysis for proposed business transactions • Use of Microsoft Office Suite Programs: Excel, Word and Power Point
