Aston Shaw’s Payroll Manager, Scott Drewery has been shortlisted for a prestigious Practice Excellence Award, in the category of Unqualified/Trainee of the year 2015.
Scott has been working towards his level 4 AAT qualification which he hopes to complete by the end of this year, after passing both level 2 and 3 first time. He has been with Aston Shaw for over 5 years and in that time has excelled – progressing from a new trainee to managing the payroll department, heading up the conversion to RTI and the current shift in the payroll process with regards to the new legislation around auto-enrolment.
Mark Russell, Client Manager of the Great Yarmouth Aston Shaw office nominated Scott for the award, commenting: “Scott is an essential member of our Payroll Department. He manages 2 younger trainees and has gained significant experience on the job alongside his formal AAT training. I have put forward Scott for this award, because he is a natural communicator, enthusiastic, has gone above and beyond to show aptitude for his role and we have been able to rely on him throughout our busiest periods”.
Scott Drewery, Payroll Managersaid: “As I grow and develop in terms of my experience and qualifications, I would like to further my payroll knowledge by specialising in the industry, so I can add more value and be able to run the Payroll department efficiently, proactively and profitably. I would like to advocate the study of specialist qualifications, such as payroll to my fellow trainees – as many prefer to take the generalist route and study to become a chartered certified accountant. My short-term aim is to grow and develop the Aston Shaw Payroll team – recruiting another team member to allow us to handle a greater volume of work – enabling me to bring in new clients and upsell extra services to existing ones.”
