Accountancy Technician (AAT) level 2

I moved into Accountancy after working in Construction and felt overwhelmed when I first started the Course. I broke down the course into easy to understand notes, which helped me greatly as I passed all of my exams with ease first time. After receiving feedback I have presented the notes in a far better format and I hope that they help you as much as they have helped me.

From writing this book I have ran my own accountancy firm before specialising in tax
