Andy Lunniss is our Grad Of The Month for September!

"I haven't found it too easy. You go on LinkedIn Jobs and Indeed, you find 'Finance Graduate'... but they want a couple years experience. It's not ideal."

It’s hard to get a job. That's literally why The Niche Partnership exists; to make it easier for our community of accountants. But graduates have unique challenges that established accountants might not have, and it's getting even more difficult. According to the Institute of Student Employers, "employers receive 140 applications per graduate vacancy on average - a year-on-year increase of 14% in 2025".

So, we want to do our part. 'Grad Of The Month' is our way of spotlighting our favourite graduates to the employers of Hampshire and beyond.

We're serious about supporting our accountancy community.
We’re serious about humanised recruitment.

"AI is great for fluff. Sounds good, but doesn't actually say anything."

Dan Heelan is the latest guest on our Between The Spreadsheets podcast!

Dan is the founder and director accountancy practice, Heelan Associates, and wildly successful YouTube channel of the same name. Dan explained the green flags (and red flags...) he looks for when interviewing, 'managing' clients in an AI-age, the vibes that drive a successful accountant, the unsung profession of bookkeeping, and more.

Finance and accounting degree apprenticeships rise 57% at UK’s top universities 🗃 PRACTICE ACCOUNTANCY NEWS 📰

"The number of finance and accounting degree apprenticeship programmes offered by the UK’s top 100 universities has increased by 57% since 2024, as universities continue to expand higher-level apprenticeship provision despite government funding changes...
Research from the University Vocational Awards Council (UVAC) found that 69% of the UK’s top 100 universities will continue to offer Level 7 apprenticeships this autumn, despite levy funding being withdrawn for most Level 7 apprentices aged over 21."

What are the best things about ME? It's so I'm letting my bark do the talking!

So, number one... I'm the only dog who helps accountants! (unless you count those hard-working dogs who run the humans' home-offices)

Number two... I woof whenever we have career-boosting Live Q&As (our next is on 3rd Sep, Phil Hobden of Sage is gonna chat about accountant FinTech)

And number three... Soft fur.

"Put 10 accountants in a room and ask them a technical question, and they'll say, 'It's this'."
"But why?"
"Well, because it is."
"...but WHY?"

Around 400,000 taxpayers unregistered ahead of MTD deadline, ACCA warns 🗃 PRACTICE ACCOUNTANCY NEWS 📰

"Data from HMRC shows that just over 400,000 of the 850,000 mandated taxpayers have signed up. This leaves more than 50% of the target group unregistered for the new reporting requirements. Although the tax authority confirmed a 12-month soft-landing period without late filing points, non-compliant businesses still risk penalties for failing to keep digital records. Submitting nil placeholder returns with the intention of fixing numbers at year-end remains prohibited, as quarterly filings require direct reconciliation with bank feeds."

We're not one to brag, but... "flawless" is a strong word! But really, our mission to humanise the hiring process is fundamental, so when we receive a review like this, we take it a sign that accountants want humanised recruitment too!

"Not really, it’s flawless" - one of our happy accountancy candidates, when asked “Do you have any suggestions to improve our service?” in a survey. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

As AI becomes an increasingly familiar part of accountancy, the profession has always had people at its heart.

Fintech is evolving roles, responsibilities, and opportunities. But how should that tech work in harmony with the people using it?

It's a question that our network asks us all the time! So, we're eager to support with our next LinkedIn Live on 3rd September: 'Accountants First: Keeping FinTech Humanised' with Phil Hobden of Sage, a deep-dive into the evolving relationship between finance professionals and the technology amplifying them.

Join us for a Q&A full of insightful takeaways. Phil Hobden is the Head of New Customer Advocacy at Sage, and one of the UK’s most recognisable voices in the sector, with specialist speaking positions at Accountex London, The Digital Accountancy Show, QuickBooks Get Connected, and more. He'll touch on topics such as:
🎯 Identifying right (and wrong) ways to adopt fintech day-to-day
🎯 Accountants approaching AI amongst the uncertain hype
🎯 Challenges in accountancy that aren’t getting enough attention
