Designed to fit computer screens, its digital format enables users to search and archive editions. And with each monthly edition featuring animation, simple navigation and scores of weblinks to more information, it’s the best way to access the best career advice.

Four young accountants will share their experiences with YP readers every month as they face the daily trials and triumphs of working in accountancy and progressing up the career ladder, providing a yardstick for other young accountants to measure themselves against.

The candidates come from a range of institutes and backgrounds, covering practice, business and the charity sector and are all at different stages of their careers.

‘I hope this project gives young professionals an idea of what they can do with their accountancy qualification and an awareness of the wide variety of opportunities that are out there ­ both within accounting firms and also in industry,’ said Saeed, 26, who is about to enter her final year of training at KPMG in Liverpool.

The background details of all four accountants are featured in YP, which will hit the email inboxes of young accountants across the country every month.

It also includes an interview with Zillah Byng-Maddick, who became FD of off-licence group Thresher before the age of 30. Plus, there’s a glimpse into what it’s like to work in the music industry.
