Charlotte, who has over eight-years’ experience in accountancy, started her career straight from sixth form college when she went into a trainee accountancy position.
Before joining Pierce, Charlotte was a Management Accountant at Euro Garages, prior to that she worked and trained as a Chartered Accountant at a Top 100 firm.
Charlotte said: “I’m delighted to join Pierce as they have got an excellent local reputation. I got such a good feel for the company at interview stage as everyone was so down to earth and friendly. My colleagues have been really helpful and have made me feel very welcome.
“I’m really looking forward to working with clients to prepare their statutory accounts and carry out audits on local businesses.”
Paige has just started her career in accountancy, prior to this, she worked at her family business in the plastic trade, which is a client of Pierce. She is currently studying for her AAT Level 4 in accountancy alongside her new role.
Paige said: “I wanted to be working in a full-time role to support my accountancy studies at night school. As Pierce are my family’s accountants, I knew it was a well-established firm and everyone I had every met from the business was really friendly, so when the job came up, I knew it was a great opportunity.
“As part of my role in the online services department, I assist clients with the help of accounting software, an area that has grown due to Making Tax Digital, as well as preparing accounts and VAT returns.”
