What made you choose to work for Sanne?

I had heard a lot about Sanne before I started through friends who work here and was encouraged by what I was told was a friendly and inclusive culture. In addition, I was keen to explore a career in accountancy after gaining interest through my studies at university and Sanne offered the perfect fit with their training programme.

What professional training have you done?

I’m currently studying towards my ACCA qualification with Chapter One, recently becoming part qualified.

What do you do on an average day?

An average day consists of preparation or review of bookkeeping, preparation of quarterly or annual financial statements as well as liaising with our clients and investors on any ad-hoc requests.

What is your next step?

I’m aiming to be fully qualified by mid-2023 and continue my career progression with the compnay, while possibly exploring further study options.

What advice would you give yourself as a graduate considering the experience you have now?

Firstly, be patient - results or answers don’t always come overnight so perseverance is important. My second piece of advice would be to glean knowledge wherever possible.
