Read about some of our ACCA Members who started with AAT.
Francesca Harper - Societe Generale, Tax Director (VAT)
"Qualifying to be an accountant is purely about hard work and commitment," says Francesca Harper. "Put in the hours and stay focused and I guarantee you can become an accountant! I did!"
Francesca left school after her GCSEs and became an ACCA member at the age of 21.
Steve Edwards - Finance Partner, National Grid
"AAT was a great grounding to obtaining the ACCA Qualification, not only giving generous exemptions from the earlier exams but also providing much of the underpinning knowledge required for the later exams."
Joanne McCourt - CEO, Ebit Intelligent Procurement
Joanne began her career in finance after completing her GCSEs, progressing through the AAT Qualification before achieving ACCA membership. Reflecting on her decision during her ACCA studies, she shared:
“I chose ACCA because it’s the largest and most global professional body, and I believe it can take my career much further than other qualifications.”
