Are there any skills you didn’t think you’d need until you joined?
Being able to prioritise! You'll often be working on multiple clients at the same time (speaking for tax only in my experience) and often have conflicting deadlines - knowing how to prioritise and keep your managers/senior managers in the loop about where you're at is a skill I'm still trying to develop!
Its not that imperative you learn before joining but any excel skills that you can learn will only be a plus. We use excel a fair bit within the role so any advantage you can gain beforehand can only help
Thank you both
