Charles Darwin University graduate Daniel Merit is the perfect example of where hard work and application can get you.
Commencing at CDU in 2002, Daniel graduated from his Bachelor degree in mid-2005 and has never looked back.
After gaining a traineeship with Merit Partners Chartered Accountants at the start of 2004, Daniel dropped his study load to part-time to accommodate the demands of full-time employment.
Fresh from graduating, Daniel then began a Chartered Accountants program and he is now in the final stages of this.
Daniel is the senior accountant at Merit partners and acknowledges the institution where his journey began.
‘I met a bunch of great people and professionals while studying at CDU and have worked with a few since,’ he said.
‘The Territory is a great place to gain employment as an accountant and CDU has a well-structured accounting stream to ensure you are ready for the demands of accountancy.
‘If you are willing to work hard the benefits are there to be reaped in any profession, especially accounting,’ Daniel said.
