Book Recommendations for better personal statement

Hi all!!! It’s currently the summer holidays, and I’m wondering if you all have any recommendations for good books about accounting or finance that I can write about in my personal statement a few years later?
Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated!!
Also do you all have any good suggestions for online courses website?

Hi, what stage of education are u at? Since you said uv started ur summer holidays, I'm assuming that you're done with Y11? Any reading at this stage would be quite useful, especially if ur doing higher education in accounting and finance. To answer your second question, a good website would be Oplex Careers - they have good recognised accounting and finance courses, but they do cost money. Hope this helps!

Maybe look at Uni websites, some might have recommended reading lists. You can also join some competitions to strengthen your Personal Statement— perhaps some maths competitions to show your calculating skills?
