Joining me today is John Turner. John started his career in audit at KPMG, having completed a Masters in Political Science at Leiden University. He was involved in the intensive programme offered by KPMG, which involves sitting 14 of the 15 ACA exams within the first 9 months. He talks us through the challenges of that programme alongside the Big 4 culture and dealing with the stresses of busy season. After leaving KPMG, John joined Pepkor, the Holding Company of Poundland and Pepco, as a Group Reporting Accountant, where he spent 2 years managing the cash flow and financial reporting of the business. He then joined RELX, where he remains today as a Financial Reporting Accountant in the Head Office finance team.
