BDO – Seetal KC, ACCA student, Griffith College Dublin graduate
I graduated from Griffith College Dublin with a BA in Accounting & Finance before joining a small audit practice on a three months internship. After that I was attracted to the BDO Graduate Program and I was successful in joining their Outsourcing Department in January 2011.
As a trainee in BDO I get opportunities to work for a wide range of clients and in my work with them I gain insights to their business which deepens my industry knowledge. The variety of work is exhilarating - my duties encompass a wide assortment of tasks from bookkeeping to preparing month end reports, reporting back to clients on a monthly basis and assisting in the preparation of annual accounts. The experience gained with different ERP and accounting systems is invaluable for my career progression.
BDO's structured training program to support trainees in getting their tasks completed and assisting to progress through ACCA exams is second to none. BDO offered me paid study leave, time off to attend lectures and access to a mentor when required. The training provided is tailored to meet individual needs and roles within the firm.
The ACCA qualification appealed to me as it offers great flexibility and provides an internationally recognised qualification. Because of my academic background in Accounting and Finance, ACCA offered me exemptions from 9 fundamental papers. ACCA has enabled me to develop the necessary skills to become a competent professional accountant which is a highly valued career globally.
