My year working at head office has been part of my accounting & finance degree, a s my third year placement. I have worked on both the sales and purchase ledger side of the accounts department and have undertaken a wide variety of tasks as part of this. As part of my role I began by working on the sales ledger side of accounts, dealing with store and mail order takings. My role has now progressed in that I also deal with purchase ledger. Both of these areas have enabled me to increase my knowledge of accounts which will benefit my final year studies.
