Susannah started at a different firm and joined Kreston Reeves last April, and James joined straight from school last August.

They have different experiences of the firm and are at different levels, but are both very happy with the route they have taken and the qualification they are studying too. ACA is an invaluable accountancy qualification which, whilst it is very hard work, is incredibly rewarding and an amazing thing to undertake.
