Why did you choose accountancy?
My route into accountancy was slightly unconventional. At the age of 27, I completed an open degree with the Open University, combining business management and finance modules. It was only after seeing the graduate route advertised on Lovewell Blake's social media channels that I realised accountancy could be a suitable career path for me. Following work experience within the audit department, I knew it was a role I would enjoy and find rewarding.
Why did you choose Lovewell Blake?
I first became aware of Lovewell Blake through the graduate route advertised on the firm's social media channels. I then attended an open evening at one of the firm's offices, where I had the opportunity to speak with existing staff and learn about their experiences. Following this, I arranged work experience within the audit department, which confirmed that this was the right role and firm for me.
What is your role?
I am an audit senior associate. I joined Lovewell Blake in September 2020 as a trainee and have since completed my ACA qualification and progressed to my current role.
Why do you enjoy your role?
No two days are the same, and while the role presents regular challenges, I find it both enjoyable and rewarding. I am also grateful to work within a supportive team that consistently offers guidance and encouragement.
What three words would you use to describe working at Lovewell Blake?
Supportive, rewarding and challenging.
