Growing their own talent

AN ongoing commitment to training gives chartered accountants and registered auditors, J R Watson & Co the confidence to deliver a first-class service.

The commitment to ‘grow their own’ talent means business and personal clients can work with a team in tune with the latest rules and regulations.

The latest appointments include apprentices who have joined the firm that has offices in Cheyne Walk, Northampton and in Rugby.

Partner Sue Leathem, who heads up the business together with fellow partners Russel Vann and Alan Markham, said: “Training is vital to our business. Clients can feel confident they are getting the most up-to-date advice and we can feel confident that our team are able to deliver.”

Alice Markham, who has completed her apprenticeship and is a member of the Association of Accounting Technicians, said training with J R Watson & Co has taught her many valuable skills and has given her confidence in her work. Josh Pentelow, who is completing level 4 of his apprenticeship, said he has learned various skills which have improved both his work and social life. Adrienne Harrison, a level 3 apprentice knows her apprenticeship has helped gain qualifications and hands-on experience which is helping her to progress in her career.

Sue said: “We are very proud of our long history in Northampton, but we recognised many years ago that the way to thrive was to ensure we are able to continue to meet the needs of our clients, including many in the local community and service businesses across many sectors.”

J R Watson & Co is not just there for the end-of-year returns or to help complete self-assessment forms, and the complete range our services can be found on their website.

The firm already works with a wide range of business sectors including landlords and tenants, agriculture, the construction industry, manufacturers, engineering, haulage, retailers and the service sector. The commitment to training includes all staff, including the partners, taking further courses to update their knowledge.

Sue said: “We believe that all our people should not only have the experience but the right qualifications and skills set to help and advise clients.”
