For what internship I am looking for:
I am Pardeep Kaur and I am currently studying in Macleay college. I am
currently enrolled in Bachelor of Business specialised in Accounting. I am
looking for an internship to benefit my career aspirations. In my internship, the
roles that I am looking :
• Payroll system,
• Accounts Payable,
• Accounts Receivable,
• Inventory Management,
• Bank Reconciliation,
• Financial Reports,
• BAS/GST calculation & Reports as well as
• Bookkeeping.
Type of Business:
Internship are a great way to learn and develop practical skills that are often
not possible at university or college. I want to join the big brands or companies
in the Australia that offers Audit, Assurance, Taxation, Management
consulting, corporation finance to clients. Because large companies can offer
their employees ‘more’, because they have more resources. Moreover,
working at a large company gives many professional opportunities. Although,
the position of large companies tend to be stable, they have a proper
structure. However, in Small company or brand, Advancement isn’t easy, there
are fewer resources and benefits as well as less security, policy and procedure.
For e.g. PWC company. PWC is the one of the biggest accounting firm in
Australia. Moreover, PWC Australia has its office in the cities of greater
Western Sydney, Brisbane, Melbourne, Adelaide, Canberra, Gold Coast, Perth
and New Castle. Although, KPMG is another top firm in Australia which mainly
puts its focus on the processes and integrity behind the formal audit report.
This firm mainly emphasis on the quality of audit. That’s why I want to intern in
a big company.
Category of Business
I am not sure in what industry I want to work but since living in Australia, I
have been working in the hospitality industry in both a small independent
restaurant and more recently in SUBWAY Sandwiches. That’s why I am showing
my interest in a hospitality industry. The hospitality industry refers to a variety
of business and services linked to leisure and customer satisfaction. There are
different sectors in hospitality like Accounting, Marketing as well as Revenue
Management. It requires businesses to make effective use of performance
data and analytics to predict demand. Also it establishes a dynamic pricing
model and maximise the amount of revenue that company brings in. The
hospitality industry is much broader and had opportunities to gain.
Role Within the Host business
I want to apply for a role of hospitality accountant with the support of
experience and experts management because it seems that staff are mostly
casually employed and payed low rates as well as having no financial security. I
have also been reading about the many examples of wage theft by large
restaurant and hospitality groups . In the hospitality business, good accounting
practice makes able to track cash flow and record transaction. It will give an
accurate understanding of spent, received and pay. Proper accounting give
access to useful information which can assist in planning and forecasting for
the further needs. Providing service to the clients in the professional way and
enhance returns. Without seeking professional help, anybody inviting trouble
in their profession.
Roles and Responsibilities:
In the hospitality business management, there are different roles and
responsibilities like salaries of the employees, reporting total sales, recording
transaction, analysing the profits and so on. It feels like there is a significant
opportunity for me to focus my skills and learnings in the area of payroll and
Australian payroll legislation. As this is my internship so there are particular
task in which I need to gain experience. That are
• Budget planning
• Payroll
• Financial Reports,
• BAS/GST calculation & Reports as well as
• Bookkeeping.
