BUILDING THE NEXT GENERATION
OF YOUNG ACCOUNTANTS
A community first platform helping early career accountants thrive in their first 5 years.
Hey there, Joanna here!
Welcome to Firm Ready!
A few years ago, I realised something: the way we prepare accountants for the real world is completely broken. Graduates were stepping into firms feeling lost. Firms were struggling to train them. And the gap between university and the skills you actually need on the job is only getting wider.
That’s why I started Firm Ready.
This isn’t just another career resource. I'm building a community where aspiring accountants get the practical skills, insights, and industry connections they actually need to thrive. Here, you’ll find real-world insights, practical training, bold takes on where the profession is heading, and connections that actually matter.
Our weekly newsletter keeps you ahead of the curve with industry updates, career tips, event invites, and the kind of honest advice I wish I had starting out.
If you're ready to take your accounting career seriously (and have a bit of fun along the way), you're in the right place.
Let’s redefine what it means to be an accountant, together.
Does this sound familiar?
You’re smart, capable, and qualified but still unsure what’s expected. You’ve made it into the industry, but no one really taught you how to navigate the unspoken rules. The client conversations, the team dynamics, or the pressure of doing it right the first time. You’re learning on the go and sometimes it feels like everyone else has a secret playbook.
You’re thinking about choosing accounting (or switching into it) but have no idea where it could take you. You’ve heard accounting opens doors, but what does that actually look like? Audit? Tax? Advisory? CFO one day? You want clarity, direction, and insight into what’s possible... not just vague advice and corporate buzzwords.
You’re craving a community beyond your firm. You want to grow your interpersonal skills, hear real stories from people like you, and meet others who are navigating the same early career rollercoaster. You’re looking for a space that feels energising, not intimidating, one that reminds you that you’re not alone in this.
