Learn to Finance Emma Grant
Tell us a little bit about your business
My background is local government finance, working at Exeter City Council for 20 years. Latterly, I took on the role of systems accountant there and I was on the project team responsible for implementing a new finance system. I carried out training for all new users and developed my love of training from there. In December 2013, I took voluntary redundancy to make the move into teaching. Since 2016, I have been teaching the AAT (Association of Accounting Technicians) qualification to a wide range of students. In April 2018, I set up my own business, Learn to Finance Ltd, offering bookkeeping and accountancy tuition. I now provide a range of freelance accountancy courses and workshops and am excited to be collaborating with Education & Training Skills in Exeter, to offer the full range of AAT qualifications.

Last summer, I worked as a volunteer finance officer at the South West MS Therapy Centre in Exeter as I wanted to give something back, and this is a charity close to my heart. Being my own boss provided me with this wonderful opportunity. A couple of months later, I became their Treasurer. Learn to Finance specialises in providing bookkeeping and accounting tuition, and bespoke workshops, up to and including the AAT Professional Diploma - Level 4. Did you know...?
I’ve been a member of the Exmouth Town Concert Band and the Exeter and East Devon Rock Choir. 01395 226 458; Email: info@learntofinance.co.uk; www.learntofinance.co.uk
