Student Sharing:

During my internship at a financial institution, I worked on automation projects, and it was rewarding to apply that experience in the tax space during the competition, highlighting the importance of automation in the digital economy. Presenting to senior directors at Alvarez & Marsal provided valuable insights and further inspired me to explore how technology can shape the financial industry.

This competition provided me with the opportunity to venture into the complex tax landscape, offering insights I had never imagined! It was an incredibly eye-opening experience that pushed me to quickly adapt and acquire knowledge in an unfamiliar domain. The challenge has strengthened my ability to navigate complexity with confidence and now I am feeling more prepared to embrace challenges in new and unfamiliar areas!

This was an incredibly rewarding experience to address the challenge of identifying a serviceable market within a vast potential client base in the tax services sector. We conducted a thorough feasibility analysis to evaluate the project’s practicality, while I dove deep into financial modelling to assess the value it could bring to Alvarez & Marsal. Our approach was grounded in detailed market research, exploring competitors and alternative solutions, which helped us craft a tiered pricing structure with premium features to drive adoption. Ultimately, it was exciting to present our idea and confidently address the judges’ doubts, making it even more satisfying to finally win a case competition with the right team after many previous attempts.
