Explorers and Trailblazers

My experience as an intern at Playfair has been amazing! I felt welcomed and part of the company from day one. The daily self-assessments provided a platform to reflect on my productivity, express my opinions, and see my growth through the welcome challenges that happened as the days and weeks went by. I strengthened my skills while adding value to this company! I also appreciate the positive culture that motivates me to continue to work hard even if I am having a rough day.

This internship is a good way to get your feet wet in the world of finance. I enjoyed this whole new world. I was exposed to various resources I have never dreamed of using. Playfair helped me improve my communication skills and social activity to a point where it is second nature. These skills are transferable to any field you are studying and any path you wish to pursue. The team felt like a family with their support endearment. Everyone was on task, and my role was as important as any team member. Communication is a key aspect to Playfair, and they are masters at that.

My internship with Playfair allowed me to directly engage in an intricate, high-level project with tax accounting experts and financial professionals. Playfair wants their interns to have an exceptional learning experience, and they take the time to plan around it. I was able to see the process from complex tax planning to amending tax returns, gaining an understanding of tax regulations and calculations, and not simply relying on automated calculations of the software. Plus, I expanded my network with the staff and industry experts. I felt like a valuable team member in my project – working on research and discussion materials used in client conversations. This internship opportunity will teach you new skills and show you the effectiveness of converging new alliances.

My experience at Playfair was remarkably rewarding because it sharpened my financial understanding and allowed me to develop skills transferrable to other aspects of my life. I enjoyed how the internship was tailored to my professional interests and immersed me in extensive wealth management knowledge. The team supported my development, as work gradually became challenging throughout my internship and made my contribution impactful. In addition to the team, Playfair had a network of financial expertise and educational resources. Playfair's internship program surpassed my expectations and goals.

I recommend applying to Playfair Planning Services because it is an incredible place to work. The culture highlights work-life balance, kindness, and hard work. The Apprenticeship Internship brilliantly balances education with opportunities with plenty of meetings to network with other staffers and industry experts in business development, like Money Languages. I reflected on my workflow daily through written documentation or meetings with the internship coordinator to build emotional intelligence. Various documents and reports taught me practical analysis & organizational skills. The multitude of responsibilities at Playfair emphasized challenging, but not menial, work.

The Playfair internship allowed me to improve not only my technical skills but also my interpersonal skills. From the technical aspect, I had the opportunity to leverage my Microsoft Office abilities to further business development by refining documents in both Excel and Word. Also, I was extremely interested in Playfair's focus on personal development. Through monthly Fairness and Inclusion Talks with the team, I tapped into my emotional intelligence skillset. These meetings served as great discussions to connect with the rest of the team and understand empathetic ways to improve relationships. Playfair's emphasis on furthering interns' personal and professional development makes this experience one-of-a-kind.
