Basically, some of my tasks are writing reports, dealing with clients, conducting analysis and many more.

“My colleagues at Deloitte are very encouraging and supportive. The challenges I face enables me to grow further and it trains me to perform better in future task. In order to overcome a difficulty, one must be positive and find solutions independently to achieve effectiveness and efficiency. Do not expect others to spoon-feed you,” said Lee while he shared his experience as a tax assistant.
