I have worked at Watson Buckle for many years, having initially joined the company straight from school as a trainee before qualifying as an accountant.

I participate in the preparation of annual accounts, management accounts, VAT and tax returns and providing advice and support to SMEs, while also supervising trainees to develop their skills and working on the statutory accounts preparation for some of our larger audit clients.

Experienced in the use of various cloud software, such as QuickBooks, Xero and Sage and their associated apps, I am often involved in training clients to make best use of these innovative platforms.

I enjoy supporting clients and learning about their businesses, the variety of work on a day-to-day basis and having the opportunity to work with and amongst both young and very experienced accountants.

I am a good listener and patient, efficient at identifying client’s needs and prioritising tasks so I can meet them.

I am mainly involved in preparing statutory accounts and tax computations for small companies, as well as preparing management accounts and assisting with completion of bookkeeping and VAT returns. I also deliver training to clients on QuickBooks and Xero, when required.

I enjoy getting to know my clients and employ a logical and methodical approach to my work.

I always have a to do list, with the most important, urgent tasks at the top, as priority. Then I start the day, look at my e-mails and take a phone call or two, and it all goes wrong from there!

Joking aside, the needs of my clients come first, and I work hard to ensure their needs are met on time.

I began working in a mid-sized practice and later obtained my AAT and ACA qualification, before starting work at Watson Buckle.

I work with limited companies, sole traders and partnerships operating in a range of industry sectors, preparing accounts, tax computations and VAT returns. I am also involved in training and supporting clients in cloud software, including QuickBooks, Xero and Sage

My work ambition is for each client I work with to feel I have made a difference. I like the variety my role brings and I enjoy building relationships with my clients – no two days are the same.

I am methodical, with good time management skills and I’m able to prioritise tight deadlines. Overall, I approach work with a positive ‘can do’ attitude.

I am responsible for the preparation of accounts, as well as annual and periodic management accounts for clients. I also carry out bookkeeping work, training, and occasional specialist work.

With a proficiency on Sage accounting software, both for accounting and the preparation of cash flow projections, I am able to help clients dig deeper into their figures.

I have enjoyed a long and successful career in accountancy and continue providing the best possible service to all my clients.

The variety of tasks that I am asked to perform make the job very enjoyable and my considerable experience means I am quite patient and understanding when it comes to complex matters.

I have always striven to do the best work that I can as efficiently as possible so that clients enjoy an excellent service.

For more than 40 years I have supported the clients of Watson Buckle with their audit and accounting requirements, predominantly working with small, limited companies.

My main aim is to provide the best possible service to clients on a personal level, I love the interaction that I have with my clients – it is probably my greatest strength.

Every day is different, with different areas to learn new skills and develop. There is always something new to discover from the relationships you build with clients and co-workers.

My work mainly focuses on the auditing and preparation of financial statements and tax computations.

I like to think of myself as a down to earth person with an understanding of each individual’s circumstances. This approach allows me to adapt my approach to each task that I am completing.

I pride myself on my organisational skills, drive to learn new skills and listen to advice. By supporting my clients and applying myself I hope to one day progress to higher roles within the accounting profession.

I started my career at a small accountancy firm in Halifax, working there for three years before moving to Watson Buckle.

I now audit financial statements and prepare statutory accounts for a wide range of businesses from various sectors.

In my role, I am gaining further experience within the auditing world and hope to keep progressing towards a managerial role and have greater responsibility.

I joined Watson Buckle straight from school and began my training to become an accountant. With the support of the firm, I achieved the AAT qualification, and I am now studying to become a Chartered Accountant.

My role mainly involves bookkeeping, management accounts, VAT, accounts preparation and audit assistance for owner-managed businesses across a wide range of sectors.

I enjoy the challenge of working as an accountant and I am always willing to learn something new or hone my skills. My inquisitive nature and attention to detail really helps me to drill down into the figures to find unique insights for clients.

I like to understand the full job and the services we provide to each individual client, so that I can deliver advice and support that our clients truly value.

I prepare accounts and deal with bookkeeping and VAT for numerous entities such as sole traders, partnerships, limited liability partnerships, and limited companies.

I particularly specialise in charities, including unincorporated and incorporated charitable organisations - carrying out both independent examinations and audits.

I also support audits for companies and clubs.

I always aim to provide clients with a quality service that adds value to them and/or the business they operate within.

Organisation and attention to detail, along with my technical knowledge of the Charity SORP are valued by our clients. I have a plan to succeed with a positive attitude.

My passion for accounting began when I did my work experience at Watson Buckle in school. This gave me a great insight into the profession and was the reason I applied for the trainee role five years later.

I assist in the preparation of accounts, bookkeeping, and tax for a wide range of businesses from various sectors.

My ambition is to complete AAT Level 4 and then carry on to my next set of professional qualifications.

My main ambition is to one day become a Chartered Accountant.

I am heavily involved in preparing sole trader and limited company accounts. I enjoy the fact that there is always a problem-solving aspect to accountancy and that no client is the same, this means there is something new to solve or learn every day.

I also use QuickBooks on a frequent basis to prepare bookkeeping for clients and accounts preparation.

I am not satisfied until I understand the underpinnings of an accounting process or treatment. I have a passion for learning and, therefore, I enjoy the challenge of new aspects within the industry.

I also like to think I have good communication and teamwork skills with clients and fellow staff members.

Every job has its quirks and identifying these areas is key to a smooth process. I like to tackle my work with an open mind and an understanding that everything can be solved with the help of the team around me.

I perform a range of roles, including, managing the weekly and quarterly accounts for clients, drafting VAT returns and finalising accounts at year end.

The thing I like most about my role is the problem solving. I enjoy finding and fixing issues within our clients’ accounts. I also like refining the bookkeeping and accounts process – ensuring that task will be simpler next time around.

I’m a methodical person, who ensures that the job is done to the best of my ability. I will put my hand to any task and won’t stop until the job is done.

I approach my job with an open and curious mind. I am intrigued to know what I will learn from the job, how it will improve me, and what I will learn about the client and their line of work.

My career in accounting at Watson Buckle started straight after I left school. I had initially completed a work experience week with a finance company where I learnt how to create data files, deal with bank reconciliation, sorting through cheque payments and inputting data for both cheque and card payments on relevant spreadsheets.

It was this initial experience that made me seek out work within the accounting profession. I now assist with Construction Industry Scheme returns and accounts for sole traders.

Every day is different and, therefore, I am learning new skills and how to approach different jobs as I work toward becoming a qualified Chartered Accountant.

I enjoy doing new and interesting jobs which helps me to grow and expand my knowledge of accountancy.

I work with various people, across different departments, to learn from their expertise and build a strong team connection.

I try to approach every job with the same positive attitude by working hard and being dedicated to completing the tasks to the best of my ability, no matter if it is a long-complicated process.
