What I do at Langricks<\/h4>\n

I joined Langricks in 2010, where I am responsible for the day to day management of clients\u00a0and staff,\u00a0I am based in the Wilmslow office.<\/p>\n

I also undertake reviewing of accounts, corporation tax, personal tax, P11Ds and\u00a0management accounts, I also ensure that deadlines are met.<\/p>\n

As well as the above, I am involved in ad hoc projects which involve reviewing controls of a\u00a0large business and preparing accounts for large companies.<\/p>\n

Life before Langricks<\/h4>\n

I began my accountancy career in 2004 at DJH accountants in Newcastle Under Lyme, where\u00a0I studied and completed my AAT qualification.<\/p>\n

I then went on to begin the next level of my career in 2007 studying the ACA qualification at\u00a0Josolyne & Co in Macclesfield, where I worked on a variety of different clients from small\u00a0companies to large audits.<\/p>\n

In 2011 I qualified as a Chartered Accountant.<\/p>\n

Life outside of Langricks<\/h4>\n

I am a member of a local golf club, where I play every week. I also enjoy playing football,\u00a0walking and spending time with the family.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
