Birmingham-based chartered accountants JW Hinks have welcomed
two new recruits.
The Edgbaston firm have taken on two trainees - Dylan McLoughlin
and Sonam Lall.
18 year-old Dylan from Stetchford is swapping football for
finance, after completing a BTEC in Sport at Birmingham City's
Development Scheme.
Dylan, who currently plays for Birmingham Irish in the
Birmingham AFA League, is studying towards an Association of
Accounting Technicians (ATA) qualification at Level 2. After
passing Level 2 he will hope to complete Level 3 and 4, before
moving onto a professional qualification.
The Blues fan said: "After passing my BTEC at the Blues I
decided I needed a change in career.
"Luckily this great opportunity came up to train as an
accountant at J W Hinks, which is a firm I know has a great track
record of bringing through trainees.
"I'm looking forward to completing my AAT qualifications, and
then moving onto a professional qualification which I hope will be
in the not so distant future."
Sonam joined JW Hinks in September after graduating from the
University of Liverpool with a degree in Politics and International
Business.
The travel enthusiast from X has begun studying for the
Association of Chartered Accountants (ACA) qualification, so far
undertaking modules in Accounting, Assurance, Tax and Business
Finance.
"So far it has been a challenging yet enjoyable experience and
am looking forward to the new challenges and opportunities that
will come my way throughout the course of studying at J.W Hinks,"
she said.
Partner Robin Barnes said: "I'd like to welcome Dylan and Sonam
to the firm.
"They are both excellent trainees with outstanding potential, we
are confident that they will go on to become successful
accountants."
