Say hello to Matt
BA (Hons) Accounting and Finance student Matt gained an extra qualification in Sage 50. And went on a year-long placement with PricewaterhouseCoopers in Bristol. This will help him achieve his ambition of becoming a Chartered Accountant for a top firm.
I secured a year long placement within audit at Pricewaterhouse Coopers. I’m looking for a career in audit, after graduating, so this experience was amazing and gave me real practical experience.
