Trainee Testimonial

Receiving a traineeship at Merit Partners, just a few months after completing my schooling at Darwin High School, allowed me to jump straight into the accounting industry and into my dream job. Having the opportunity to learn from all the experienced and supportive staff allowed me to grow as an auditor and was a major help in completing my studies at Charles Darwin University.
