My Background

After attending a few careers events run by Atos on campus, I was excited by what they were offering and by the rate of their growth. I wanted to start my career with a multinational giant and felt I would fit in well at Atos: my own beliefs and values closely aligned to theirs. Within the finance scheme, I could gain good experience in a wide range of different areas whilst being offered sponsorship to complete my CIMA accountancy qualifications. The managers and other graduates are very supportive and there is always someone to turn to if you are struggling or just in need of a boost. The friendly nature of the employees is really refreshing.

My job summed up

I work in the finance team for the B&PS division of the business and my role covers a range of financial management duties, to help the management team monitor different aspects of financial activity across the division. Part of my role is to monitor and approve requests for new ‘order to cash’ project codes, which are used to accurately bill staffing time and expenses on client projects and I also review any customer credit note requests, to ensure we’re billing our customers accurately. If it’s month end, I’ll focus on preparing payroll files to enable the business to review their staffing costs on a monthly basis, identifying and analysing any variances from month to month. I produce utilisation reports to ensure our people resources are being used to their full potential and keep a close eye on the spend of internal projects, reviewing the value they are bringing to our customers. It’s a wide ranging role and there’s always something new to learn every day.
