Introduction

Embarking on an internship is more than just gaining work experience it’s about stepping into a professional world, learning industry practices, and developing skills that will shape one’s career path. My three-month internship as a Part-Time Financial Executive Intern at Abhyaz has been a truly enriching journey. It not only provided me with valuable hands-on exposure to financial tools but also helped me understand how theoretical concepts learned during my B.Com studies apply in real-time business operations.

At Abhyaz, I worked under the guidance of experienced mentors who ensured that every task I performed contributed to both my learning and the company’s processes. I had the opportunity to work on real-time projects across multiple Zoho Finance tools, participate in team discussions, and gain practical experience in finance operations such as payroll management, invoicing, and inventory reporting.
