George Youngman

As an Accounting and Finance graduate, I am motivated by the role finance plays in helping businesses grow, adapt, and make informed decisions in an increasingly fast-moving, data-driven world. Financial analysis, taxation, and business performance are all areas that require analytical thinking, resilience, and attention to detail, qualities I have developed throughout both my academic studies and work experience. I am eager to continue developing these attributes through my passion for the finance industry.

My degree has provided me with a strong foundation in financial accounting, taxation, economics, and business analysis, while also strengthening my problem-solving and numerical skills. Alongside my studies, my experience working in retail and hospitality environments has helped me develop strong communication, teamwork, and organisational skills through working in fast-paced, customer-focused settings. I am someone who values consistency, self-improvement, and professionalism, and I am keen to begin a graduate career where I can continue developing both my technical and interpersonal skills within the finance sector.
