Qualifications – Training towards AAT

What’s your role within the company?

I’m office based, so I spend most of my days preparing accounts for clients and completing payroll. I’m currently working towards my AAT qualification having completed year one, so that keeps me busy too.

What do you like most about working for Jan McDermott & Co?

The atmosphere here is really relaxed and friendly. There is always someone willing to help me out – Jan and Rachel are really supportive. There’s always a nice vibe around the office, which makes work fun. 

What’s beyond the 9 to 5?
