"From day one at Drummond Laurie, the whole team have been there to help me progress as I began my career. Whether it was day to day work or exams and studying there was always someone able and willing to help. The culture at Drummond Laurie, from partners to students, ensures not only will you be able to develop professionally and obtain your qualification, but also personally by being able to learn first-hand from an established team possessing a wealth of experience. "

− Graeme Kelly, Audit Senior

"Coming straight from University into an accountancy practice environment is always a daunting thought for a new graduate but rest assured here at Drummond Laurie nobody expects you to be an expert from day one. If you are motivated, client focused with a desire to progress then this is the place for you. I have worked with the majority of our team for around 9 years now and I can’t recommend highly enough the friendly, challenging and effective training environment created here. Whether its help with your day to day work or assistance you require with your professional exams, no question is regarded as a stupid one here as we look to assist you with your goal of becoming a fully qualified accountant."

− Robert McMillan, Manager

The work frequently involves new and interesting challenges, which leads to a positive atmosphere encouraging you to always do better than your best. At the end of the day, you receive great satisfaction knowing you have contributed to the collective growth of the business and our clients."

− Chris Todd, Assistant Manager

"Drummond Laurie is a great firm to work for. Everyone works well together and as a team are focused on delivering first class client service. For me this is important as clients are always at the forefront of everything I do. Working for Drummond Laurie has allowed me to not only build on and develop new skills/experiences, but has also allowed me to specialise in an area of particular interest to me. Having specialists I believe is important in ensuring clients are properly advised by those who know and understand their sector. My passion for my specialist area extends beyond the office and I am often seen out and about supporting the local agricultural sector."

− Margaret Bunyan, Manager
