I started my career as a trainee chartered accountant for one of the big firms. Four years later, one year after qualifying with ICAEW as a chartered accountant, I joined the Audit Commission and became a Senior Associate. Some years later, after being involved in training staff as part of my role, I decided to make the move to education.
