Accountancy
03 April 2023 - 1 min read
I have spent the last ten years working in the hospitality industry, first as Events Manger, followed by Operations Manager for a spa hotel. Whilst these roles were interesting and mostly enjoyable; like for many people the pandemic gave me a chance to pause for a little while and re-evaluate what I wanted to do.
In my previous roles I had gained some experience of the finance side of the business, I loved it and I knew I would enjoy a career in this area. So, I set about searching suitable courses and roles that would provide me with a stable, enjoyable, long-term career, along with a good work-life balance.
I signed up for the Level 2 Foundation Certificate and Level 3 Advanced Diploma in Accountancy and started the curse at the beginning of the year. At a similar time, I also secured a job in accountancy practice, working as a Trainee Accountant, which I love!
I have just finished Level 2 and I am really pleased with my exam results. I am now starting Level 3 and really excited about the future and where my studies will take me.
For anyone thinking about signing up to do a course, go for it! Or for those thinking of a career change, definitely make the leap. My only regret is not doing it sooner.
