Describe what you do

I am currently a trainee at Seymour Taylor, I am part way through my ACA studies. I have completed the majority of my 15 exams and have three years of experience working in accounting.

Why Seymour Taylor

I chose to apply to Seymour Taylor as they offer a good foundation of learning covering numerous areas of accounting as well as offering a supportive work environment where I can develop and grow.

I joined at the start of 2024 and look forward to building relationships with clients, whilst furthering both my accounting career and my studies towards ultimately achieving my ACA qualification.

My experience

While studying Accounting and Finance at Nottingham Trent University, I worked as a bartender. Since graduating I worked in Nottingham for just over a year at Cooper Parry as a Graduate Tax Trainee before making the move to Seymour Taylor.

Outside of work, my main interest is sport and spend most of my time either watching live sport or playing football. My other interests include going to the gym or enjoying craft beer.
