Here are some
experiences that we can share from students and employers:
"I have gained a lot of help from
ARC's training/internship program. When I started my internship/training, I
was overwhelmed with the work and my colleagues. I was under great pressure.
Thanks to the knowledge and experience I learned from ARC, I successfully
picked up things fast. I must 'Thank' Kathy for giving me plenty of great
advice. To this day, I still follow what I have learned through dealing with
clients and colleagues. It is also a must to mention that the working papers
and draft account referencing I learnt at ARC was terrific! My boss gives me
great compliments in my cross referencing of my working papers. It was a
great and worthwhile experience with ARC."
"I found the experience at
ARC, a great help. I believe that ARC training programs increased my chances
of receiving a response from my job applications. Most recruitment
agents and employers are very interested in what I have done at ARC and what
I learned from there. Thanks to the friendly staff at ARC who helped me
during my program"
"Initially, the ARC training
provided us with a general idea on how jobs are processed in an accounting
firm and what is required for a professional accountant; and gaining the
knowledge of how to use software.
Further on the practical
internship/training provided us with a real experience of working in an
accounting firm. By consistent supervising by CA/CPAs, we are trained in how
to handle problems while we are doing new cases. What is the first step and
what is the second step etc. Most importantly, for example, we learned how to
raise questions in a professional manner when we could not find answers. As a
tax accountant, this is an essential skillsyou need. During the job
interview, I was asked to prepare the question list for the provided case!
With more training/internship, I gained
the ability to handle cases independently and became more familiar with work
requirements. I also had a good chance to be trained on how to process Self
Managed Super Fund accounts and tax returns by using BGL Simple Fund.
ARC training is brilliant and I highly
recommend it to accounting graduates."
"Before
joining the ARC In-House Training Program, I had similar problems as the
other graduates who were also faced with big challenges - what we learned
theoretically can't be applied practically in a real life working
environment.
The ARC
Training Program totally changed my perspective point of view. In the
training, Anatole with years of bookkeeping experiences explained how to
become a good Bookkeeper; he covered the wide range of topics such
as how to process transactions, document analyzing, GST issues,
processing of payroll etc.
Kathy, the
Principal of ARC, with over ten years of experiences in tax and
business consulting, delivered her expert knowledge and experience by guiding
us through a large number of real life case studies. Thanks to her
comprehensive teaching/supervisory suppoort, I am now able to prepare
income tax returns, BAS statements and financial reports independently
upon graduation. The amount of practical skills and experiences I have gained
through the in-house training is just amazing. They have definitely earned me
competitive advantage over other fresh graduates and greatly improved my
employability. The intensive training covered broad areas of issues which
allow me to obtain the practical skills faster in the shortest period of
time. I was successfully offered a position in a tax accounting firm.
The manager was so impressed by my excellent understanding of BAS and
financial report preparation. Being proud of getting a job because of the
real hands on practical experience, I attribute my success to ARC's devotion
and dedication.
I
would like to express my deepest gratitude to all the supervisors
of ARC. I believe ARC will grow to become the leading accounting
training organisation with the combined effort of its staff members. I wish all success to ARC's future
development! "
"Just
like to share a piece of great news with you - I have found a job! I would
like to take this opportunity to thank you all - the staff at ARC for your professional and
productive training. The working procedure, preparation of working papers,
question lists, filing, client confidential issues, up-to-date tax news and
so on. All I have learned in ARC, made the key to my success in job hunting.
I could never learn those things from only books and lectures.
The whole team is very helpful and
experienced. I would say the training and direction from ARC has brought a
lot of valuable points to sharpen my practical accounting skills, broaden
the mindset, share ideas and values, build confidence and help me make a
focus on job search.
Also very good practical advice
especially regarding interview techniques, resume preparation and job search
assistance. The session is very professional and personalized. My first job
interview was scaring and a failure, but after further consultation with ARC,
I began to drive the interview and to be confident and active. Thanks to your
useful training and sound advice, I am very fortunate that my job search has
been smooth-sailing. I will certainly make full use of all the skills and
knowledge this program has provided me in my career path. Thank you very
much. "
“It was a good journey for achieving and
getting experience with ARC. Before coming to ARC I had academic
qualifications (Theoretical knowledge) and experience with corporate
roles. I did not have practical knowledge or experience about the
accounting profession, knowledge or environment. By completing my
training I received great accounting experience and learnt a lot.
I learnt the following in my program;
experienced the environment of accounting firm, working procedures, getting
organized and prioritizing tasks and assignments, understanding source
documents from clients, monitoring task/assignment to name but a few…
I have enjoyed the program and also enjoyed the trainers, staff, service and
loved the friendly environment.
Before coming to ARC I started a part-time role with a small accounting firm
but it was very hard for me to carry the job as I did not have the practical
experience with an accounting practice firm. Simultaneously my
employers did not have the time to train me. For this reason I was
looking for a ‘hands on’ training program.
After finishing this program I have became confident to carry on my
role. Now I hope that if I get a new job I will be able to do my duties
properly and confidently.
Finally I want to say I have achieved a lot through ARC. It will help
me for a lifetime and it is very helpful for accountants who want to start or
already started their job but are still facing difficulty with practical
experience - they will be benefited by this program.”
"The
3 Weeks Training Program is an absolutely brilliant program! I was
given private guidance and the software I used was working smoothly without
difficulties.
The training materials were all of high
quality and standards. I would say, no one could have done a better job
than the trainers. The trainers were patient, passionate, determined
and always willing to answer my dumb and silly questions.
I am delighted to say, that I am
tremendously satisfied with the training and felt that I have successfully
made a transition from university to a real working environment.
I would like to also say that ARC's
program is one of the best training courses I have ever attended. The
materials taught during this short period of time were complex and
in-depth. However, with guidance from your beloved staff, I managed to
complete every single case while gaining great knowledge and thorough understanding
of the taxation environment in Australia.
“My company used ARC’s
referral/placement service and found it to be an excellent experience. Not
only was the accountant referred exceptional in their role but also went
beyond their own duties to assist other staff. I would definitely recommend
ARC’s referral/replacement service to other companies. In fact so impressed
are we that we have decided to place a second experienced graduated
accountant. We believe that these two experienced graduates can only enhance
our company’s growth.”
Cheng and Associates (Employer)
"Friendly trainer, good office conditions
and an overall understanding of an operating accounting firm."

helpful. Especially Sanjay. He is quite helpful."
"I have used ARC graduates for a while
now and they have been a great help to me. I have found their knowledge
to be of a good level."
"My recent experience with ARC
graduate accountants has been enjoyable and helpful. They have the
relevant experience and the capabilities to make themselves successful in the
workforce and to greatly assist their employers.
As an employer, I
found myself far too busy to train new staff - having one of the ARC
graduates removes the need to provide training and close supervision in the
initial period of their employment.
I am happy to
recommend the employment of graduate students who have completed this
training program for any accounting practice vacancies."
Toorak Accounting Services (Employer)

have learned a lot."

"Professional study environment,
well experienced trainers and solid knowledge."
"I found the job interview
useful. I like the role-play part the best. I have enrolled for
the 6 Months Internship/Training Program and valued the patience of the
trainers. The facilities (computers etc.) are always ready for
use. I was able to solve cases and I'm currently working as an intern
for another accounting firm part-time through ARC's referral/placement
service. I'm utilising what I have learnt in my real day to day work."
"I've met a lot of friends through
ARC. ARC has helped develop my confidence. I have enjoyed my 3
Months Internship/Training Program and have obtained valuable knowledge and

quality training. I really appreciated my time with ARC. I'm now
using my knowledge in my new job."

gained real work experience in bookkeeping, tax accounting and skills in how
to prepare my resume to match the job requirement. The ARC team are

from what I got in university. I can get help when I ask for it.

jobs. The interview training has shown me how to prepare for future
interviews and prepare my resume."
"This program has helped me a lot on
practical accounting issues. The program has helped me answer the
difficult problems that I was unable to answer previously. I really
enjoyed the journey with ARC"
“I have gained more knowledge of Tax Return
and understand how to operate the accountants office software. I feel
confident to do tax returns which include individuals, partnerships, company
and trusts. I also understand the office procedures of an
accounting firm.”
“After completing my practical training with ARC, I felt that I learned the
basic accounting knowledge and I’m confident of working as an
accountant. The course provided me with much needed experience.
Thank you!”
“I really got a range of real hands on experience during my program. I
had a wonderful time with the trainer and staff in the comfort of a
nice environment.”
“During my program, I solved real client’s information task. As
client’s information is not always clear in the accounting business
experiencing it in my program was very important. I really
understood being an accountant. The program was very useful for me.
Thank you Kathy, Gaby and Anatole!”
