Alastair Tough and Jack Crowther of Alexander Knight & Co accountants in Hale

We are delighted to share the news that our colleagues Jack Crowther and Alastair Tough have both passed their final ACA exams and are now qualified Chartered Accountants.

This means they have demonstrated the skills and expertise required in exams and practical work over a sustained period and have been approved by our industry regulatory body, the ICAEW, to practice as Chartered Accountants.

Both colleagues have been with us since the very start of their professional training. Jack joined us straight from his A-levels as an apprentice and Alastair arrived following his degree from the University of Warwick.

Since then, we have been pleased to support and fund them in gaining their professional qualifications which has enabled them to flourish in their career at Alexander Knight & Co and undertake first class work for our client base of business owners and entrepreneurs.

Alison Spier, who oversees HR and training at Alexander Knight & Co, said:

“We are delighted with Jack and Alastair’s achievements and proud to have supported them every step of the way. We are committed to developing the next generation of accountancy talent and we continue to invest in our team and our clients.

“We’d like to congratulate Jack and Alastair on achieving ACA status and we are confident they will continue to develop as leading accountancy professionals here at Alexander Knight & Co.”

 

Murray Patt, founder of Alexander Knight & Co, added:

“It is extremely pleasing to see two colleagues get recognised in this way and approved by the ICAEW. Accountancy qualifications in England & Wales are the most prestigious in the world and we are proud of their work and will continue to support them here as we develop and grow our practice.”
