New hires at Newbury accountancy firm Azets

Two new apprentices have been taken on at the Newbury office of accountancy firm Azets as business demand continues to grow.

Ellie Warwick and Kristina Pallaiova are both working closely with clients as they study for accountancy qualifications.

Tax associate Ellie studied accounting and management at the University of Reading which allowed her to explore various different sectors within accountancy before she discovered a preference towards the tax sector.

She said: “I wanted to work at Azets due to its community feel and collaborative environments in smaller offices whilst still being a top 10 firm.

“I have really enjoyed my first weeks here, everyone has been so supportive, and I am very excited for my future here.”

ABAS associate Kristina completed a BTEC Level 3 Extended Diploma in Business at Reading College, where she had the opportunity to learn about finance and discovered an interest in accountancy through her fascination with working with numbers and problem-solving.

She said: “I chose Azets to pursue my career in accountancy because of its position within the finance industry, and how the firm creates a community environment by providing accounting solutions to local businesses.

“I also felt the company values were well aligned to my own and saw a lot of opportunities for career progression. During my first few weeks here, everyone has been very welcoming and supportive which has helped me settle in easily.”

Neil Elsden, office managing partner for Azets in Newbury, said: “We are very pleased to welcome Ellie and Kristina into the Azets Newbury office where they will be working with our clients in Tax and Business Advisory Services.

“Supporting our trainees through their accounting qualifications means we get to benefit from their enthusiasm whilst helping them develop into the business advisors of the future.”
