Monsur Ali, associate
Deloitte

Monsur Ali, 19, first came into contact with Deloitte through his school, Morpeth in Tower Hamlets, London, where staff from the firm acted as mentors to the pupils. Following a more formal introduction to the firm through its ‘Aspire’ work experience programme, Ali then found himself weighing up whether to take up offers from university to read economics, or dive straight into the world of accountancy through Deloitte’s BrightStart higher apprenticeship programme.
