C career testimonial 2

I can not believe how much I have learnt

“After leaving university I knew I wanted a career in accounts and after interviewing at a few firms I chose Cottons because it was most inline with what I wanted for my career. I liked the people I met and how the training would be delivered. I have been here for over a year now and can not believe how much I have learnt in that time!”

Georgia Stewart – Graduate Accountant

C career testimonial

It’s exciting, challenging and rewarding in equal measure.

“I trained and qualified at Cottons then moved to a top 12 firm for 5 years to gain valuable experience, before returning in early 2022. Why? Because working at a large, growing independent firm, I get better visibility on the impact I make. Because I am more instrumental in decisions and change, it is easier to influence the firm’s direction. It’s exciting, challenging and rewarding in equal measure.”

Charles Hill – Director
