Introducing the Who’s Who? corner of our monthly Newswire…
Each month we’ll interview one of the team here at KN to tell you a bit more about themselves and their role….after all, everyone loves a good nosey don’t they?!
Shalini Sharma, Trainee Accountant, Audit
Shalini joined Kirk Newsholme in 2021 following graduating from Liverpool University in Accountancy & Finance. She is currently studying towards the ACA qualification and works within the Audit team.
Tell us a bit about your role and the firm…
I work in KN’s audit department where I am currently studying towards my ACA qualification with just over a year left to go until I qualify.
I enjoy working in audit alongside such a great team and meeting all the lovely clients that I interact with every week.
The audit team have just recently had a team building day out at Hazelwood Castle which was full of activities and (only some!) competitiveness over the air rifle shooting – it was overall a really fun day!
What would you be if you weren’t an Accountant?
If I wasn’t an accountant, I would love to have been a scientist as during school I always enjoyed science and even did chemistry as an A-level.
What are you currently reading?
I have just recently finished reading the Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo after it was recommended to me by my friend. I’m not much of a book worm but if there ever was a book you had to read, I would definitely give this one a go!
Where is your favourite place in the World?
From all the places I have travelled to I would say Mexico was my favourite, seeing the Chichen Itza – one of the seven wonders of the world was incredible.
Later this month I am travelling to Marbella and Portugal with my friends so that is something I am looking forward to, in addition to getting some sun!
What’s on your bucket list?
I’ve currently fallen in love with running long distances which is why I have registered my interest in the Leeds half marathon for next year, so that is something I hope to tick off my bucket list soon! I think it will be tough, but I enjoy challenging myself.
