Background

About Ethan Stiles

ACCA Chartered Accountant | Aspiring Commercial Pilot | Financially Trained, Commercially Driven Qualified as an ACCA Chartered Certified Accountant at age 22, achieving 72% in Advanced Taxation and completing my studies while gaining hands-on experience in a dynamic start-up environment. Over the past three to four years, I’ve built a strong foundation in financial reporting, tax, budgeting, and commercial analysis — but more importantly, I’ve developed the resilience, discipline, and critical thinking that come from managing intense personal and professional growth. Aspiring for a career in aviation, the pandemic put that dream on hold; but in its place, I embraced the challenge of becoming a Chartered Accountant. That decision has paid off, giving me both technical financial expertise and the business mindset that will serve me in any cockpit, boardroom, or high-pressure scenario. Alongside core finance competencies; from cash flow management to strategic decision support, I bring a hunger to learn, a drive to lead, and the clarity to turn complex numbers into commercial insight. Whether I continue in finance or transition into aviation, I’m focused on roles that challenge me, grow me, and align with a high-performance mindset.
