We are delighted to share that Shannon O’Neill, our Credit Control and Banking Executive, has passed her Association of Accounting Technicians (AAT) Level 4 qualification.
Shannon, who has worked for Wilson & Roe for almost two years, began studying for this qualification during the first national lockdown. This was particularly tough as she was also working full time for a charity.
“I was going to work all day and then revising until midnight, which was challenging” explains Shannon. “The course was self-taught and I funded it myself, which gave me the motivation I needed.”
Since qualifying, Shannon has been dividing her time between her role as Credit Control and Banking Executive and working with Wilson & Roe’s finance team, where she has the opportunity to continue learning and put her number-crunching skills into practice.
However, the hard work doesn’t end here for Shannon, as she plans to begin a four-year course that will see her qualify as a Chartered Accountant.
She says, “I’m really proud of what I have achieved and that I have done everything off my own bat. AAT Level 4 was very challenging but definitely worth it, and it has given me the foundation to segue into chartered accountancy.”
Shannon’s determination and drive, alongside the support of Wilson & Roe, mean she is sure to have a long and successful career ahead of her.
Managing Director Eric comments, “Shannon is an integral part of the team and lets nothing stand in her way, which is clear to see from her impressive results. Staff progression is one of our main priorities and everyone at Wilson & Roe is fully behind her as she embarks on her next chapter.”
