Murray Harcourt is a well respected full-service audit, tax and advisory practice in Yorkshire, who offer support to dynamic organisations of every size. Within a short space of time Murray Harcourt grew into a strong independent practice with 2 offices- Harrogate and Leeds. During my time with Murray Harcourt I successfully organised the fit out and refurbishment of the flagship office in the heart of the Leeds business community. This project involved negotiations with commercial agents and landlords, office design companies, furniture suppliers, and staff members. On completion of the office space I organised a successful drinks reception for circa 100 of Murray Harcourt's clients. My other duties at Murray Harcourt involved preparation, printing and distribution of marketing materials for clients and potential clients, relationship building with clients in person and on the phone, and day to day operations at both offices.

I carried out a work placement at FSS as part of my degree at Northumbria University.During this placement in a competitive commercial environment I was able to appreciate the need for business discipline - robust processes, accurate data management and effective financial controls – coupled with strong interpersonal skills. When working with clients looking to buy properties I listened carefully to their needs and used appropriate questions to understand fully their requirements and thus match them with suitable properties. I was also involved in valuations, where it was important to be aware of the market conditions and to be able to effectively manage client expectations.I also assisted in house viewings, tenant inspections, property auctions and spent time in the finance department. I found the differences in the lettings and sales markets interesting and enjoyed learning about the different aspects of a successful business.
