The tenth and final episode of our first series of Career Goals is now available to watch, and it features the QuickBooks Chap, Aaron Patrick.

Aside from being well-known as The QuickBooks Chap due to his YouTube presence and role as a QuickBooks trainer, Aaron is also the founder and Head of Accounting at Boffix, a Kaplan alumnus, and one of the Ask the Accountant podcast hosts.

Key topics discussed

Never have I ever

Jumping straight into a game of Never have I ever, we learn a lot more about Aaron, such as other career ideas he had when he was younger, the opportunities he had at Kaplan to meet other likeminded people, and how he works to rectify mistakes made during live recording sessions of the Ask the Accountant podcast.

Kelsey reads out a series of statements relating to the accounting and finance industry. Aaron shares his views on topics such as the creativity behind accounting, university compared with apprenticeships, his experience of studying for his ICAEW qualification directly after AAT, and how he got his name as the QuickBooks Chap.
