Gulfishan Raja explains why working at accountancy firm<br />
Alan Patient & Co beats any other job<br />
I can wake up easily because I<br />
have the best job in the world.<br />
The profession of accounting<br />
and auditing is very diverse and<br />
it keeps us busy all year round.<br />
However my job is not just<br />
sitting on my chair staring at the<br />
screen and multi-tasking with<br />
the calculator. From day one I<br />
was interacting with clients to<br />
provide them with excellent<br />
customer service.<br />
The focus here is<br />
not just to produce<br />
accounts or prepare<br />
VAT.<br />
It's simple. We focus on<br />
how to save our clients as much<br />
tax as possible, as well as what<br />
we can offer that would benefit<br />
them in the future.<br />
Training is an important part of<br />
this firm and I have been given<br />
the opportunity to complete my<br />
ACCA qualification. Having an<br />
in-house tax expert helps not<br />
just improve my knowledge and<br />
experience but also results in<br />
better tax saving for our clients.<br />
We help to identify our clients'<br />
strength and vulnerabilities so<br />
that they can benefit and grow,<br />
and here at Alan Patient<br />
& Co we are associated<br />
with many such success<br />
stories.<br />
Clients can call in any<br />
time and speak with the<br />
partner – even outside<br />
office hours.<br />
This sort of flexibility is not<br />
available in "Big Four" firms and<br />
the customer service provided<br />
by us is second to none.<br />
In this firm I've learnt that the<br />
bespoke customer service that<br />
we provide to our clients does<br />
not have to be expensive.<br />
Why not give us a call? Tea and<br />
cakes are waiting for you and<br />
the first consultation is free.<br />
Next month<br />
Summer's over – now the work<br />
begins.<br />
