Give an overview of the duties, functions and responsibilities of your job.

My daily tasks include completing VAT returns, annual accounts and tax returns whilst ensuring everything is submitted to HMRC or Companies House on time.

What is a typical working day like for you?

A typical working day for me begins by replying to all of my emails from clients, after this I begin planning my work for the day and prioritise those which are closer to deadlines than others.

What are some of the biggest challenges faced by your clients?

Many of our clients have only just began trading and often have no past experience of doing so. Therefore, the whole process of what documents to send us, when to send them, and so on can be difficult at first. However, I always try to explain this process to our clients should they not know.

How are you able to use your skills to solve problems for them?

To solve problems faced by our clients, my first step is finding out what the problem actually is – this can be via email or over the phone with the client. Next, if I can solve this, I will let them know or I will research this or ask a member of the team and later get back to the client.

What is your favourite part of the job?

My favourite part about this job is the independence you are given to manage your whole day in terms of what work to do and when. It’s nice to be able to do this without a manager breathing down your shoulder.

What do you like most about working for The Accountancy Partnership?

What I like most about working for TAP is the way we all feel appreciated and respected. This is shown by the quarterly events we are given and non-micromanaged office.

What skills do you find most useful to do your job?

The skills I believe which are most useful for this job include time management, and being a good problem solver.

Where’s your favourite place to visit on days off?

On a day off, I love going on walks around the Port Sunlight River Park with my girlfriend and daughter.

Tell us about your proudest achievement.

How would you colleagues describe you?

My colleague Rob described me as funny and spontaneous.

What are you reading/binge watching at the moment?

After just finishing watching Top Boy, I am stuck in those couple of weeks after a series where it is impossible to find something else to watch.

Who do you admire, and why?

I really admire my dad, after just becoming one myself, I now understand that it is not just as simple as changing a couple of nappies!
