Star Student February 2020: Ross White

Ross has been with Bennett Jones and Co since May 2017 specialising in tax. He prepares tax returns for individuals and partnerships and provides tax planning advice. His favourite part of his job is solving problems which ultimately help his clients. He has a passion for Excel. He studied AAT levels 2, 3 and 4 before moving onto his ACA level 7 apprenticeship. He is part of Accountancy Learning’s first cohort of level 7 apprentices who started in August 2019. Having studied AAT they are exempt from four of the certificate level papers so their first topic was Law which was very new for all of them. I would like to nominate Ross for our Star Student because he is the first of our level 7 apprentices to pass one of their exams, scoring 72%, a great achievement given he had never studied law before. He has also passed Assurance with 84%, again, another great result for someone with no audit experience. He has shown great effort to pass these exam which is one of the three exams he is studying for this autumn.
