Alex Pester

Alex works in our audit and accounts team, preparing year-end accounts and tax returns alongside his audit work. He particularly enjoys working with owner-managed businesses, getting to know the people behind them and understanding what they want to achieve. For Alex, that relationship helps make the work rewarding, as he can see how the support he provides matters to the owners.

He studied Mathematics, Accounting and Financial Management at Loughborough University, graduating with First-class Honours. His degree gave him a grounding in accounting and finance, while the mathematics side developed his approach to working through problems and understanding complex information.

Alex first joined Page Kirk for his placement year in 2024. This gave him the opportunity to put his studies into practice and experience working with clients, helping him understand how the knowledge gained at university applies to different businesses. It also gave him a feel for the team and a clearer idea of what a career in accountancy would involve.

He returned in 2026 to join our graduate programme and is now studying towards the ACA qualification to become a chartered accountant. At the weekend, you’ll find Alex out for a run or watching football.
