Hello! Trench Life was started to help young & emerging accountants, consultants, lawyers and ambitious innovators to navigate life in the trenches. What better way to learn than from the stories & mistakes of those who’ve come before you?

We’ve got a bunch of tongue-in-cheek content to keep you at the top of your game, with the aim of having you climbing out of the trenches in no time at all.
