Work Experience

I began my studies a few months into my Streets career picking up levels 3 & 4 of AAT. I had the tools and knowledge available to me in the workplace which helped transition into my exam successes, and onto my further studies with ACCA. Streets have always given me the flexibility to put my studies first as they understand how important it is for individuals to gain their respective qualifications, and how it benefits the firm as a whole. Since gaining the qualification through ACCA, Streets have remained supportive and are happy to work with me to progress and achieve my career goals. Lincoln office, Manager

I began my career at Streets as a school leaver, first completing my AAT qualification and then progressing to a level 7 apprenticeship and becoming an ICAEW qualified Accountant. Working for Streets, a mixed practice, has been invaluable for career progression, providing experience across a broad range of clients and sectors. Joining the firm in 2015 as a school leaver, and being one of the first to pioneer the newly created ICAEW apprenticeships at the time, has allowed me a wide practical experience to then specialise in areas of choice as my career has developed with Streets. We have a positive workplace culture, where hard work is rewarded and our staff are supported to develop their skills and experiences, to ultimately deliver the best possible service to our clients Lincoln office, Manager

In 2015 I had the opportunity to gain a week’s work experience with Streets, in the Lincoln Office. At the time I was 16, studying the first year of my A-levels and feeling quite overwhelmed and lost with how the next few years of my education or how the start of my career would look. In that week, I found exactly what I was looking for. Streets offered me the opportunity to join the firm as a full time Trainee Accountant, with immediate effect. Since then, there has been support in every meaning of the word, full emotional, professional and financial support through my AAT studies, through my studies and through the development and growth of my professional and personal life. From that scary first morning in August 2015, all the way to today, Streets have given me nothing but opportunity and backing to achieve every possible success that I can. To this day Streets stand beside me as my partner and the foundation of my upward trajectory. Lincoln office, Senior Manager

Streets have been a fantastic support throughout my career, from my very first day as a trainee right through to becoming a Partner. There is a real team environment with everyone working well together. Peterborough office, Partner

I started at Streets fresh out of sixth form just over 17 years ago. I’d done my work experience at a local firm of accountants and applied for an apprenticeship because I liked numbers and I didn’t want to go to university. I started out doing my AAT qualification and moved on to gain my ACA qualification. The mix of learning on the job with dedicated breaks for study helped embed the theory of the qualification into the practical aspects of the job. Working in a smaller ‘satellite’ office I gained a lot of experience in many areas of accountancy: audit, tax, bookkeeping and software, payroll, and so I have been able to maximise this varied foundation to my benefit as I progressed further in my career. I have had a fantastic team of mentors over the years who have helped me get to where I am today. I have been encouraged out of my comfort zone with a great support network, not just locally but across the firm as a whole. The technical expertise within the firm is an excellent resource bank to call upon and it’s great to know you can speak to talented individuals on the end of the phone/Teams. Seeing the firm grow over the last few years leaves me excited for the next 17. Newark office, Partner
