“Working at Myers Clark has been an incredible journey so far, I have been exposed to a variety of work in different fields and having no prior knowledge of accounting from university, this has allowed me the opportunities to gain an enormous amount of hands-on experience and knowledge in such a short space of time.

My questions are always warmly welcomed and answered, this help and support from the whole team at Myers Clark has made an environment which has allowed me to develop as an individual both personally and professionally, and one of the many reasons I enjoy working here so much”

“I completed my placement year at Myers Clark while studying at the university. When I was offered a trainee contract after my graduation, I did not hesitate to accept the offer.

During my time at Myers Clark, I have had the pleasure of being trained in multiple areas. For example, bookkeeping, processing payrolls, preparation of year end accounts, audit and service charges for a wide range of clients including corporate clients and charities.
