MY STORY

Caroline Cant MICB PM. Dip

Bookkeeper, Mum, Partner, lover of nutella, puzzles and films with a twist!

I was born and raised in Reading and have a background in finance, business administration and customer service. You could say numbers were installed in me from birth because my dad was a math's teacher before he retired and my oldest siblings are both accountants.

I began bookkeeping 8 years ago when I decided to join the Institute of Certified Bookkeepers. I began studying around my full time employment and volunteer position as Treasurer for my local preschool. Since then I have enjoyed working with a variety of clients and continue my learning with regular professional development, including attending accounting events and monthly branch meetings, online webinars, workshops and short courses. In the world of finance you can never know enough, especially with the ever changing legislation!

​

My qualifications to date are as follows:

​

• ICB Level 3 Payroll Management - Distinction

• ICB Level 3 in Bookkeeping and Accounting - Merit

• ICB Level 2 in Bookkeeping and Accounting - Distinction

• NVQ Level 2 in Business and Administration

​

I became a Mum quite early on and found juggling a full time job around my then 3 year old was quite tough, so becoming my own boss with work that was flexible enough to complete around my children was the perfect choice, but I knew I needed to be qualified and regulated by a professional body in order to deliver the best service to my clients!

​

I now have 2 beautiful and energetic girls aged 10 and 4, so my spare time is mostly filled with chasing around after them, having tea parties, picnics and getting creative with arts and crafts.
