Senior Accountant
Phoenix offers a wide range of training for staff. Starting with a program called join and thrive which aims to support new starters in the business and provides a platform to ask questions and get a base understanding of the business. From my experience in finance, each team has a host of training materials that they can provide which is suited to the specifics of the role. This is structured into pillars that go from a general finance role, a specific team, a specific role in that team and then even into project specific knowledge. These are delivered centrally within each function and then specifics taught by an experienced peer. The company also has an array of external training that can be accessed if agreed with line management, this is varied and dependant on personal preference. A group of staff in my team have recently applied to cover Macro and VBA coding to help with complex excel work. To summarise, the resource is all there to take advantage of. The key is really being proactive and honest about your development requirements to make the most of it.
