Like father, like son

PwC’s Hugh McQueen recently posted a great picture on his LinkedIn page. He was very proud to have become an exam qualified ICAEW chartered accountant, after achieving first-time passes in all three of the ACA advanced level exams. The other photo (far right) is of his dad, Angus McQueen roughly 30 years ago, passing the same milestone.

He got lots of congratulations, and everyone loved the photo. But no one commented that dad Angus seemed to have a lot more to learn if the pile of books is anything to go by!
