Summary

As an A-level student predicted to achieve AAB, I have undertaken work experience at leading financial services company, Robson Laidler. This placement allowed me to further my understanding of accountancy and wealth management, as well as developing invaluable, transferable skills such as commercial awareness, communication, teamwork and initiative. I am committed to combining these skills along with other skills I have learnt in part-time work as well as in school, in order to pursue professional growth and excellence. My career goal is to work with a diverse, fast-paced accounting and taxation firm where I can grow, both professionally and personally, in an environment that is committed to putting customers first.
