BBDO
While studying abroad in London in the fall of 2019, I got the opportunity to be a Special Projects Intern for BBDO EMEA, the headquarters of all the BBDO-affiliated marketing agencies throughout Europe. In most of my day-to-day activities, I was working with the Head of Financial Reporting to consolidate financial information, create budgets and forecasts, and streamline accounting procedures. Since almost all of my work contains confidential data, I cannot share explicit examples. However, here are some more specific descriptions of projects I worked on:
-
Automated Excel spreadsheets to quickly process accounting data and produce routine financial reports
-
Collaborated with the Financial Manager to track overall company expenses and revenues to forecast year-end projections
-
Analyzed company travel expenses to see which employees and time periods are hurting the company's bottom line the most
-
Traced exchange rate gains and losses over the course of a transaction to see whether or not accounting inefficiencies are hurting our top line
-
Helped organize BBDO U, the internal training mechanism for BBDO aimed at giving employees with strong management potential the resources they need to advance their careers
-
Analyzed the company's reimbursement process to figure out why the 30 day turnover time is never met
-
Corresponded with 27 different agencies across Europe to keep revenue figures and annual projections up to date
-
Aided the accounting department with day-to-day schedule updates and data entry
