Elsby and Co celebrates employees’ exam successes

Northamptonshire accountancy firm Elsby and Co is celebrating the exam successes of more than half a dozen of its employees.

The firm enables its staff to attend learning and revision courses during work time to prepare for exams and provides extra support through regular 1-2-1s with line managers and soft skills training delivered through lunchtime learning sessions, podcasts and recorded presentations.

And the Rushden-based company’s support for its team has paid off as seven staff members have achieved exam success during the past few months.

Among those celebrating is senior accountant Lydia Wright who has passed her strategic business leader exam, having already been successful in her ACCA advanced audit and ACCA strategic business reporting exams.

Semi senior accountant Alex Ferdinandez passed financial management, trainee Evan Fennell passed business strategy and technology and semi senior accountant Georgia Gant passed her financial reporting exam. Niamh Standen passed AAT principles of bookkeeping controls exam, semi senior accountant Katie Simms passed ACA strategic business management and client manager Alice Belcher passed the ACCA audit exam.

Founding partner Carl Elsby said: “Everyone at Elsby plays a part in the service we provide to our clients so it’s very important to us that we support every staff member with their development and growth. We never forget that we are on a mission to help our clients in as many ways as we can and to help us achieve that all our staff are encouraged to learn as much as possible. 

“We’re thrilled that so many of our team have had exam successes during the past few months. We’re so proud of them and all the hard work they have put in to achieve such fantastic results. We’re confident that the wealth of knowledge and experience they have accumulated will benefit both our team and our clients.”
