Helen Carby – The Dentdale Bookkeeping Company
“If anybody had told me 15, 10 or even 5 years ago that one day I would be a Certified Bookkeeper, member of the ICB, hold my own Practice Licence and run my own business then I am not sure what I would have said!…”

Jaye Snell AICB PM. Dip
“I’ve always had the desire to be…’something’, and whilst at school I wanted to be everything from a Paramedic to Red Arrows pilot. It was only after undertaking work experience with my aunt in an accounts office within a local haulier business, that I really started to become interested in bookkeeping and accounts…”
=======================================================
Ruth Cringle AICB – Admin Elite
“A short time ago a couple of clients asked me if I could come in and help them with their accounts. Knowing that I would need to be registered for Anti-Money Laundering (AML) to offer bookkeeping services as part of my business, and after a couple of discussions with a few local Accountants, I decided an ICB qualification would be the best option for me.”

Allison Slater – Slater Jones Bookkeeping
“After 26 years of working in banking management, my role was at risk of redundancy. This was a great opportunity for me to re-evaluate what I wanted to do next with my working career, so I applied to take voluntary redundancy…”

Ade Omosanya – AO Bookkeepers Ltd

=======================================================
Charmian Heys – Now Bookkeeping Ltd
“Being a sporting person, at school I was never particularly academic. Consequently I really could not wait to stop studying and start working. Inevitably I headed for a short-term career in the leisure industry, which was fun but I soon realised it was not a long-term career, so I joined the British Army. Life has a way of making you change directions and sadly, due to an injury, I did not make it out of basic training and I was given a medical discharge…”

Last year the opportunity came up for me to take voluntary redundancy; having planned a career break to take some time out and enjoy life, I opted to take it…”

Stefan Shell – Birchfield Bookkeeping
“It’s fair to say that the words “Life’s a journey, not a destination” apply quite firmly to my life so far.
Coming out of University with a degree in Environmental Biology, I had grand plans to spend my life wandering the outdoors in the environmental sector. But life has a way of catching you unawares and showing you alternate futures, and so after meeting and marrying my wife, I settled into family life…”

“I started looking into becoming a bookkeeper in 1997 when my husband started his first business, he is an electrician and as such I had to learn not only basic bookkeeping but also things like CIS and how to manage the various tasks involved, so I started training through Training Link…”
=======================================================
Carol Shipley – C.L. Shipley Bookkeeping Services
“With a grandfather who was an accountant, and a father who trained in accountancy and ran a successful business it is no wonder that I was interested in figures. Had I been a less headstrong teenager I would probably have trained to be an accountant, but I went a different route missing out college years and ended up in sales and marketing…”
