The Finance recruitment team at Oxford-based Allen Associates is delighted to award prizes to the highest achieving accounting students at Vale Financial Training.

One of the winners, Becky Dixon, was awarded the Allen Associates Prize for her ACCA (Association of Chartered Certified Accountants) P Paper, having achieved an outstanding 83% score for her paper.

Commenting on her prize, Becky said: “This was the penultimate paper that I had to sit before becoming a fully qualified chartered certified accountant. It took a lot of hard work to achieve this score and this has given me more confidence going into the next and final paper in a few weeks’ time.

“Winning this prize means so much – it is recognition and reward for all the hours spent studying towards achieving my career goal.”

Kate Allen, Managing Director at Allen Associates, commented: “We were delighted to award Becky with her much-deserved prize. The accountancy profession, like all sectors, depends on the next generation of talent to take it forward - Becky’s obvious commitment to her studies while maintaining a busy day job will surely be an asset to the profession for years to come.”

Liz Hulls, Director at Vale Financial Training, which is the only ACCA Platinum accredited training provider in Oxfordshire, added: “We are very proud of Becky's exam results which are fantastic in their own right, but even more so when compared with the average global pass-rates.

“All our students have done very well this year and as a tutor, it’s always gratifying to witness their achievements and watch their careers develop. We also offer qualifications to those working in finance roles at all levels as well as those interested in accountancy as a profession.”
