I joined the bet365 Finance Team nearly 3 years ago after completing my Finance degree. Initially, I learned the basics, the structure, the culture, and how the business operates, subsequently moving on to tasks such as process improvements, training new staff and, best of all, project work on new developments.

As the company has expanded into newly regulated markets, project work has been an increasingly important part of our work and is my favourite part of the job. It is rewarding to be part of a new market launch; from the early stage of planning through to the ’go-live’ launch and then ensuring all the post ’go-live’ requirements are met. And there seems to be an endless stream of new projects.

A key ethos of the company is constant improvement, of both our work and our personal skills and understanding. I’ve been able to learn, not just from my managers, but also from other team members and other departments.
The Finance team works collaboratively to achieve its goals. The team is, for me, the best thing about working at bet365. We are active socially outside of work, with my immediate team and as the whole finance department. This has helped create a vibrant and positive culture in work.

The company promotes obtaining your accountancy qualification as quickly as possible. To achieve this, the company provides funding for study support to complete your qualifications. I’m currently half way through CIMA. There’s lots of other students in the department so there’s always plenty of support from them, and advice from others who are now qualified.

My managers have always been very approachable and supportive, in my time I’ve progressed to a Team Leader and I know that with the constant expansion of the company, opportunities for progression will always be there, especially after completing my qualifications.
