Meston Reid & Co have a proven track record of supporting the next generation of accountants.

The firm has accepted placement students from Robert Gordon University’s accountancy and finance degree in all but two of the past 20 years.

Having spent a year-long placement within Meston Reid, Robert Gordon University (RGU) students Kyle Gordon and Gemma Spence are moving into their final year of studies this month. Both will return to work at Meston Reid once qualified.

During his placement, Kyle received the Best Overall Student 2019 Ernst & Young Auditing Prize (Stage 3). This achievement follows a number of exam successes for members of the Meston Reid team in recent times.

We have already welcomed the next year-long RGU placement, third-year accounting and finance student Kendall Gibson.

In addition, we have recently recruited two students for apprenticeship roles. Having gained accountancy qualifications at North East Scotland College, Natasha Souter (HND) and Holly Gammack (HNC) are joining the team as part of the innovative Graduate Apprenticeship Scheme which sees students gain industry experience whilst initially working towards a degree and latterly a professional accountancy qualification.

RGU, in collaboration with the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants (ACCA) and the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Scotland (ICAS), is the only university in Scotland to offer a Graduate Apprenticeship in Accountancy.

Meston Reid & Co can be counted on to support future generations of accountants.
