Job Satisfaction at McGrathNicol

Very challenging yet rewarding. I have been trusted early on to play a key role on multiple projects, ranging from conducting forensic analysis in response to cyber incidents, to assessing and uplifting the security architecture of organisations.

Day to day we are doing payments, and running through WIPs

Responding to emails, dealing with creditors, employees, statutory bodies and drafting reports.

Present to clients, clean and analyse data, help other service lines where possible.

My role within the Graduate Program involves being assigned to various firms within the Restructuring team. Currently, I am working on a large project in the payments team, and I spend my day to day working through the operational payments that need to be made to enable the business to continue regular trade. On other projects I work through statutory lodgements. I also participate in other firm initiatives which takes up a small part of the week.

As a Graduate I get exposure to a lot of di_erent tasks. I am encouraged to take on more responsibilities.

I am an Analyst so still a junior role however I get to participate and get experience in a wide range of projects and tasks which I am grateful for. The challenge of always encountering new tasks and having to stretch my ability keeps work engaging for me. Additionally, a challenge is rarely too hard as there is often lots of support available through the wide team network.

I handle creditor queries, manage tasks in Excel, and assist in the trade operations for companies in Voluntary Administration. My day-to-day responsibilities involve resolving financial inquiries, analysing data, and ensuring a smooth trading process.

Very client facing, get to interact with directors, creditors, lawyers and bankers as a junior

I am a Government Advisory Consultant who on a day-to-day basis is in contact with stakeholders of projects, writing reports, analysing documents, etc.

The tasks undertaken by a Graduate are very diverse, and largely depend on the type of engagement you are working on. These tasks can be quite interesting, but do include a portion of more repetitive, manual tasks.

Day-to-day responsibilities vary depending on the type of engagements you are involved on. Some jobs include a variety of work including employee relations, supplier negotiations, cash flow forecasting, environmental / regulatory reporting, etc.

My primary role as an Analyst is to support the project team with building out financial information and performing analysis to understand trends and historical and future performance, among other things. Outside of that key role, as an Analyst you are involved in the project from day 1 helping prepare the project scope and engagement letter, project setup in our internal systems, work-in-progress reporting, attending meetings with key stakeholders, and preparing the final deliverable alongside partners and managers.

I do a lot of report writing, client correspondence, and a lot of work within excel.

Working through task checklists across multiple projects to meet specific deadlines. This usually involves Statutory requirements, employee queries/entitlements and/or other project elements (assets, trade-on).

My role varies from project to project. Generally I will be managing communication between the team and external parties, issuing letters to relevant parties, ensuring that we are lodging reports and forms before they are due. I will also make sure that our project files are in order. I will also write the preliminary analysis for reports under guidance from a manager. My roles vary significantly from day to day which is a great aspect of my work.

Communicating with team, analysing data, helping other teams in firm where possible

I perform groundwork analysis on investigation jobs, handling large datasets and often trying to find hidden trends or patterns relating to the clients' concerns - which may be in response to alleged fraud or data compromise. This often involves a lot of cleaning and harmonising of data, followed by the opportunity to creatively problem-solve to get results.

Talk to clients, prepare data packs and reports for potential transactions

Day to day work can vary from stakeholder correspondence and engagement, working through financial information and requests to statutory and administrative requirements.
