* Communicating with your seniors when there is a material difference between evidence provided by the client and data stated on the financial statement provided.
* Being on hand for any questions a client may have about changing laws, standards, and regulations.
As you advance in your role, you will get the opportunity to mentor new trainees and provide them with high-class on-the-job training. Additionally, as your confidence grows, so will your project management skills as you work to meet deadlines and budget constraints for clients.
