I’m a motivated and hardworking individual who has recently finished A-levels in Geography, Business and Economics. I kept 100% attendance throughout college, which shows how reliable and committed I am. I’m keen to start a career in finance and accountancy, beginning with AAT and then moving on to ACA, as I want to keep building my skills and qualifications.

I enjoy working as part of a team, but I’m also confident working independently and taking responsibility. My goal is to build a long-term career in the finance sector where I can develop and make a real contribution.

I have two years of experience working at IKEA, where I developed strong customer service, teamwork, and problem-solving skills in a fast-paced environment. The role required me to be reliable, organised, and able to communicate clearly with both customers and colleagues. Alongside this, I completed my A-levels in Geography, Business, and Economics with 100% attendance, showing my commitment and consistency.

I’ve also started learning the basics of bookkeeping to prepare for a career in accountancy. Altogether, these experiences have given me a solid foundation of transferable skills and the motivation to begin my career in finance through an apprenticeship role.

I completed A-levels in Geography, Business, and Economics in 2025. These subjects gave me a strong understanding of finance, markets, and data analysis, while also building my written, analytical, and problem-solving skills. I maintained 100% attendance throughout college, showing reliability and commitment.
