Congratulations to Jodie Cole, from Kilgetty, on passing all her exams to become a qualified member of the ACCA (Association of Chartered Certified Accountants). Jodie joined the Ashmole & Co team in the Haverfordwest office as a trainee in 2020 after gaining graduating in Business & Management with Finance at Cardiff.

Jodie did her GCSEs and A Levels at Greenhill school, Tenby. She lives with her mother and brother and in her spare time enjoys walking her dogs on the beach, socialising with friends and going to the gym.

Day to day, Jodie prepares year-end accounts for sole traders, partnerships and limited companies, prepares tax returns, completes VAT returns and assists with audits.

Will Hughes, Partner in Ashmole & Co’s Haverfordwest office said: “We are all so proud of Jodie and her fantastic achievements. She has become an integral part of our team in the Haverfordwest office. It’s been an absolute pleasure to watch her going from strength to strength.

“Having been educated in Tenby and living in Kilgetty, Jodie has local knowledge that helps her relate to our clients across Pembrokeshire. It is important as a profession that we help to train the next generation of accountants. Qualified staff members are the lifeblood for the future success of our firm.”

Other staff have achieved ACCA exam success recently including Simone Terry in the Haverfordwest office, Ceirion Harries and Dafydd Saunders in Ammanford and Rhys Owen in Cardigan.

The firm has recently launched its Accountancy Apprenticeship Scheme for 2025 and is on the search for new Trainee Accountants to start this summer.
