Cole Harlow
Tamworth,Staffordshire
Summary
I am coming to the end of my three year apprenticeship with Sherlock Hynes Limited, during this period of work I have completed my level 2 & 3 AAT and I am waiting on one more result for my level 4. Providing this goes as planned I will be able to register with AAT and become a licensed accountant.
I have undertaken many managerial rolls during my employment here due to external factors and have managed the practice alone for weeks at a time, showing resilience and remaining calm under pressure.
I have also mentored another apprentice and have trained him up of several different software's, giving him the experience and understanding he requires.
