PwC Isle of Man has congratulated seven associates on successfully completing their Associate Chartered Accountant (ACA) exams.

Andrew Barrowman, Ashley Chadwick, Voirrey Cubbon, Charlie Freeman, Sumeet Pai, Stephen Renshaw and William Welsh all joined the firm as graduates and, after undertaking 15 exams each in total, all have gained first time passes on their final three exams.

The ACA qualification is one of the most advanced learning and professional development programmes available. It is gained through the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales (ICAEW), Europe’s largest professional accountancy body, and is valued around the world in business, practice and the public sector.

Ian Clague, Senior Partner at PwC Isle of Man, said: ‘We are delighted with this fantastic news, and I want to congratulate each of them on completing their exams. Embarking on a professional qualification alongside work is no mean feat, and I commend them for the self-discipline and motivation they have applied to achieve their qualifications.

‘With the firm’s support, continued professional and career development, and the power of our global network, I look forward to seeing how they will each drive their career forward to reach their full potential.’

Nicola Shepstone, People Partner at PwC Isle of Man, added: ‘The quality of our people is at the heart of the firm’s growth strategy, and is key to ensuring we provide the highest possible quality of services to meet the future needs of our clients with confidence.

‘I am very proud of their success, and would like to thank Manx Professional & Educational Services Ltd (MPES) for its high standards of quality training.’

PwC Isle of Man’s three-year ACA professional training contract allows candidates to gain exceptional technical skills, and also a good balance of business and personal skills. All seven of the associates will now go on to further develop their skills and knowledge, as they progress in their careers within the audit and assurance practice.

PwC Isle of Man employs more than 115 people across its three lines of service; Audit, Tax and Advisory. It is trusted as a leading firm in the local business market, with the strength of a global network of expertise and resources to ensure it delivers exceptional client service.

Recruitment for PwC Isle of Man’s 2016 professional training programme is open now, with opportunities for school leavers, graduates and experienced professionals, as well as summer internships.
