When did you start as an apprentice at Futuresound?

I started as an accounts apprentice in February 2021

What does your role involve?

My role involves a variety of duties, such as processing invoices, bookkeeping, preparing management accounts, making payments to suppliers and putting together profit/loss reports after events

Why did you choose Futuresound?

When looking for an apprenticeship, I wanted to make sure I could find a company that would provide me with the skills to obtain my qualifications whilst also giving me real experience in finance. I could tell during my interview that Futuresound would be able to give me that, with the added bonus of being a fun and welcoming company.

It’s also amazing knowing that I can work for a company that specialises in music, Futuresound really is one of a kind!

Why did you choose the apprenticeship route?

Apprenticeships are a fantastic route into any choice of career, as the qualifications can open many doors in the future. They also give you the opportunity to work in a new environment, which can be really helpful when thinking about future prospects.

What would you like to happen careerswise when the apprenticeship is over?

While the qualifications and skills obtained through the apprenticeship could provide me with lots of job opportunities elsewhere, I would love to stay with Futuresound for the foreseeable future, as the work environment is fun, relaxed and fulfilling. As I continue to learn about more advanced concepts, I hope my work in the future will help to keep pushing the company forward.
