I hope to continue growing from strength to strength in my career at Clowes.

My career at Clowes began in January 2022, as an Accounting Apprentice studying at East Midlands Apprenticeship Training Provider. In this time, I have completed both Level 2 and 3 Assistant Accountant courses (AAT), and I have recently embarked on Level 4: Diploma in Professional Accounting.

My favourite module so far has been Management Accounting: Costings. This module clicked with me as I could relate it to the work I have been doing at Clowes and subsequently ended up being my highest graded module.

My role at Clowes covers a wide range of tasks and responsibilities including, daily reconciliations, services charges, year-end activities, overseeing the company credit card and completing payment runs.

The people here at Clowes are great, everyone is passionate about what they do which creates a positive and supportive environment for me to learn and grow in. My team allow me to tailor the work that I do on a day-to-day basis around what I am learning at college which allows me a deeper understanding and chance to excel in both my qualification and my career.

I would recommend an apprenticeship to anyone who is keen to gain valuable experience within a workplace environment alongside working towards a nationally recognised qualification – with the bonus of being paid to learn. I struggled initially, balancing studying, and working, as it was new to me and unlike anything I have done in the past. Organisation is key!

I hope to continue growing from strength to strength in my career at Clowes furthermore I believe from the support and encouragement from my colleagues I will succeed in progressing on to eventually achieve a chartered status in accounting.
