We asked Nathan…

How has your role evolved over time since you’ve been here?

My role has developed a lot because when I first started at S Smith & Co everything was very different to the course I studied at college. However, over the last 2 years I have developed my knowledge which has allowed me to take on new tasks such as payroll and limited company accounts along with answering client queries.

How has working with your colleagues and team members influenced your overall experience?

One of the many reasons I enjoy working at S Smith & Co is the team. Everyone gets on so well at the office and always look to support each other in their work, so the team has been a huge factor influencing my experience here. Everyone in the team feels comfortable asking for advice and that helps everyone to develop.

How did you get started in the industry?

I have always been quite good when it comes to working with numbers and leaving school, I had no idea what I wanted to do in the future. When applying to college I thought that even if I didn’t enjoy accounting it was a good A level to have. I then started to pick things up quickly and decided an apprenticeship in accounting was what I wanted to do.

What is one thing you would tell people about your job?

One thing I would say is that accounting isn’t as boring as it is made out to be. If you have a fun, positive team around you then it makes everyday at the office different and enjoyable.

What is your favourite biscuit to eat the office?

I would say my favourite biscuit would be a Fox’s chocolate cookie but I really enjoyed the shortbread biscuits which a client kindly brought in for us recently.
