May Newsletter
We’ve had a mix of exciting updates, slightly chaotic water adventures, and proud achievements this month—so let’s dive in (some more literally than others)…

 

Another Step Closer!
A huge shout-out to our very own Christopher Harrison who’s passed yet another CIMA exam—only one more to go until finishing his qualification. We’re incredibly proud (and only slightly jealous of his brainpower). Keep going, Chris—you’ve got this!

Monty vs. The River Avon
Speaking of action heroes, Monty—our ex-military superstar—took to the river for some kayaking. It was all going so well until he lost control, spun in circles and looked… well, let’s say, less SAS and more slapstick. If you fancy a laugh, we do have the video. Just ask!
And if you were at the Stratford Half Marathon and thought you spotted him—yes, that was Monty again, smashing the race. What a guy.

Office Ice Age
While the weather outside has been glorious, our office continues to defy seasons by staying permanently cold. The joys of a building with “character” (translation: draughty as anything). Still, the sunshine has done wonders for team morale—especially those brave enough to kayak or run.

We’re in the AAT Magazine!
Yes, that AAT Magazine—official publication of the Association of Accounting Technicians. We were featured talking about how we’re committed to upskilling, cross-skilling, and building serious technical muscle.
Check it out online: “We’re upskilling through formal qualifications, cross-skilling and focusing on technical competencies.”
It’s always nice to have our say—after all, you know I’m never short of an opinion or two!

Women in Change Awards Finalists!
We’re thrilled to announce we’re finalists for the Change Programme of the Year at the Women in Change Awards. This is a huge deal for us as an all-female led team working in a male-dominated sector. It’s all about celebrating the impact we create through transformation work with clients. Cross your fingers—we find out in July!

Pac-Man & Jellybeans, Anyone?
Our newly revamped conference room is ready to welcome you! Think comfy, warm, and slightly nostalgic. We’ve added some quirky touches—including a jellybean wall (not just bean counters!) and a full-sized Pac-Man machine. Come in for a chat, challenge one of the team, and see if you can top the leaderboard!

Thank You
Finally, thank you for all your support this month. It’s been a challenging time for the team, and your kind words and understanding have meant the world. We’re looking forward to welcoming a new member of staff in June—more on that in our next edition!

Until then, enjoy the sunshine, and don’t forget—we’re always here if you fancy a game of Pac-Man (or some solid financial advice!).
