	Buzzacott LLP

After leaving university, I chose to study ACA because as a qualification it is really well-regarded by employers – and because I wanted a challenge!

I decided to train with a medium sized firm to get good exposure to various types of clients, to get to know people well at the firm and because of the training on offer. I also wanted to have more responsibility sooner and didn’t want to get lost in one of the big firms.

It’s been great! So far, I’ve most enjoyed being out on audit at clients premises, performing different audit tests. I love the fact that no two days are the same!

I have really enjoyed the mixture of study at college, training courses at SWATuk and work both out at clients and in the office. I’ve also made some really good friends with others at my firm and at SWATuk.

My advice to anyone considering this career is – Go for it! But be prepared for hard work in the office, at college and at home. ACA calls for a lot of juggling skills with regards to work/study/social life but it’s worth it!

It's not all work work work. At SWATuk, we organise regular social events for students on the programme.

Following the success of the bowling evening in June, SWATuk students gathered at the Russell Square premises for another closely fought contest, but this time of general knowledge. Click here for a synopsis of the night with PHOTO's.

On the 25 June 2008, we kicked back and had some fun at SWATuk's first inter-firm bowling competition. For details of the night, including results and photo's, click here: http://www.facebook.com/note.php?note_id=18211479629

Speaking to the teams afterwards they enjoyed the evening and felt it would be worth doing again, so all you other SWATuk students out there, get your bowling teams and shoes together and be ready for the next event.
