I work in public practice and I am a sole practitioner providing accountancy, tax and audit services. I joined the panel soon after setting up my practice in 2015 because I wanted to learn more about the ACCA and the resources available to help me grow my business. Recognising what a tremendous asset my ACCA qualification is I also wanted to give something back to the profession by volunteering to help promote the ACCA and encourage ACCA students and members. Being a panel member and advocate for the ACCA has helped me to achieve all of these goals.

Anthony's LinkedIn profile

I have worked in the financial services sector for over 8 years providing Management accounts to senior management and directors.

I decided to join the panel as I am passionate about ensuring potential members are informed about the benefits of becoming a member of ACCA. I enjoy meeting new people and encouring development in this area. 

I also joined as I wanted to provide feedback to ACCA from current members to ensure that any potential improvements can be made.

Ellie's LinkedIn profile

I have always worked in industry, predominately within financial services and now work for a global property management company. My roles have spanned management accounts, decision support and business partnering roles, as well as financial control. I would not have had these opportunities without my ACCA qualification. I joined the Norwich Network panel as a way of giving something back to ACCA as well as to become an advocate of the benefits and opportunities that ACCA  affords it members.
