HOME ABOUT US SERVICE LINES BLOG CAREERS CONTACT US Exam Success By Gillian 15th July 2021 Blog No Comments Despite COVID and the restrictions it has placed on all our lives over the last 15 or so months we are absolutely delighted that two of our ICAS students have passed their final exams and are now just a few months away from being fully qualified Chartered Accountants. Jessica and Chloe both came to Drummond Laurie with the same aim but via different routes. Here’s their paths to success! “I first worked with Drummond Laurie during the summer of 2014 as part of my school work experience programme. I then joined full-time in August 2015, starting the ICAS School Leaver Program in September 2016. My studies, like all our lives, were impacted by COVID and new ways of working had to be quickly developed. Initial teething problems were soon overcome and my last block of classes and final exam were completed remotely. I am delighted to say that I have now passed my final ICAS exam and I am looking forward to the next stage of my career and the challenges and opportunities ahead.” Jessica Wardlaw “I started my training contract with Drummond Laurie nearly 3 years ago when I finished university. I chose the route of chartered accountancy through ICAS as I felt the structure of the course was best suited to me. Drummond Laurie were so supportive throughout my exams and were flexible in giving me experience in areas that I felt might help for studying. Despite being a challenging few years I’ve enjoyed getting involved in different aspects of the business, whether it be audit, tax or accounts preparation. This variety is something which definitely helped when it came to studying. Now that I’ve passed my final exams and am a few months away from becoming a chartered accountant, I’m looking forward to see what my future at Drummond Laurie brings.” Chloe Wilson “Both Jessica and Chloe have been great members of our team over their time with Drummond Laurie and we are all extremely proud of their achievements. They have applied themselves extremely well to the wide variety of work they have been given and as a result have accumulated a fantastic amount of experience between them. Technical skills can be learned, however, work ethic, attitude and the desire to succeed are largely in-built. Jessica and Chloe have these attributes in abundance and this has helped them to come through their ICAS exams successfully at the same time as establishing themselves as valued members of our team. I have every confidence that they will both go on to have successful careers within our profession and I look forward to viewing their progress at Drummond Laurie for many years to come.” David Wheeler – Managing Partner Download our Budget Statement Click here to download it now Download 2021-22 Tax Tables RECENT POSTS Autumn Budget Summary Exam Success MTD VAT & DD Payments Rise in Minimum Agricultural Wages Additional Discretionary Grant Funding Available (Phase2) ARCHIVES November 2021 July 2021 June 2021 May 2021 March 2021 February 2021 January 2021 December 2020 November 2020 October 2020 July 2020 May 2020 April 2020 March 2020 February 2020 January 2020 November 2019 September 2019 August 2019 July 2019 June 2019 May 2019 April 2019 March 2019 February 2019 January 2019 December 2018 November 2018 October 2018 September 2018 August 2018 July 2018 June 2018 May 2018 April 2018 March 2018 February 2018 January 2018 December 2017 November 2017 October 2017 September 2017 August 2017 July 2017 June 2017 May 2017 April 2017 March 2017 February 2017 January 2017 December 2016 November 2016 October 2016 September 2016 August 2016 July 2016 June 2016 May 2016 April 2016 March 2016 February 2016 January 2016 December 2015 November 2015 October 2015 September 2015 August 2015 July 2015 June 2015 May 2015 April 2015 March 2015 February 2015 January 2015 Let's Get Started: CONTACT US LINKS Home Services About us Blog Contact RECENT NEWS Autumn Budget Summary Exam Success MTD VAT & DD Payments GRANGEMOUTH Drummond Laurie Grangemouth Unit 5, Gateway Business Park, Beancross Road, Grangemouth, Falkirk, FK3 8WX Tel: 01324 441250 email: David Wheeler PERTH Drummond Laurie Perth Algo Business Centre, Glenearn Road, Perth, Perth and Kinross, PH2 0NJ Tel: 01738 450415 email: Ian Bilsland © 2021 Drummond Laurie.
