Why did you choose accountancy?
I chose a career in accountancy following on from my A Levels. I studied Maths, Business and Economics, all of
which I really enjoyed. There were areas of Business and Economics which
introduced me to accountancy and this was something I wanted to develop further
and so led me to looking into a career in accountancy.
