A university student has been afforded the opportunity to experience what life is like at one of south Wales’ busiest accountancy firms.

Charlie Walker, a second year BSc Accounting & Finance student at Cardiff University, is spending this summer with Cwmbran-based Green & Co Accountants and Tax Advisors.

Mr Walker, of Griffithstown, Pontypool, said: “Green & Co is a local, well-organised and award-winning accounting firm with an extremely envious reputation. The experience of the team here is incredible. There are a number of different departments which related to modules I am studying such as taxation and auditing, so the amount I have learnt is not only beneficial to my future career, but it will directly benefit my studies.”

Director Ed Gooderham said: “We are delighted to welcome Charlie. The internship is a programme we actively encourage because we believe that having practical experience pays dividends for students both during their studies and their future career.”
