Crowe Ireland audit partner Shaw McClung
At one point I considered the merits of teaching or journalism as a career, but decided to train as an accountant following a conversation with my father’s cousin who was a chartered accountant. She extolled the virtues of the profession and felt I would be a good fit. Happily, I think she was right.
