Reviews
As an externally facing consultant, I am responsible for organising and managing multiple audits and client relations at any single point in time. This mainly involves building new test work papers to audit clients against, interviewing clients on the controls, documenting the findings and supporting evidence and formulating a final report.
Audits at the company sets unrealistic deadlines and huge workloads on seniors. site audit are much more enjoyable and offer more opportunity to learn.
As an Undergradute, I am afforded a higher level of responsibility and autonomy than I expected, while still having a support system in place to assist when I am stuck or need assistance with workflow/technical issues. My day to day responsibilities include a range of activities, mainly preparing financial statements for clients while gettting exposure to a variety of new expereinces or once off tasks

Pros and cons of working at RSM Australia
Pros
The people who we work with are extremely nice and encouraging when it comes to making mistakes and learning."
RSM is a very Corporate Socially Responsible, by ensuring environmental procedures like recycling paper, and limiting the amount of paper used due to using computer and other electronics instead.
The hours are very flexible. I have the option to work earlier, or swap days that I don't work.
There are always opportunities to move up, usually propelled by the growth of the firm and availability of senior positions.
The firm is always giving us opportunities to participate in training sessions.
Cons
Renumeration is in line with averages when starting out. However, this is made up for by a much quicker promotions path which compensates for this.
Woking on projects of the same type, where I feel less motivated - Sometimes my feedback to managers feels ignored.
One challenge at our company is the limited availability of desk space, which can be an issue if not booked promptly enough.
I'm not really sure how I would move up the ranks – not that I want to – but no one has had that conversation with me.
Space is getting small, considering more staff have come on board in the last year.
