Why I Started
Experience that makes room for people.
After more than 25 years working in industry, I decided it was time to put my experience to work for my own clients. My career began as a Sales Ledger Administrator for a printing press manufacturer and progressed through a variety of finance roles before becoming Financial Controller for an energy company.
Along the way, I gained experience across a wide range of industries and business systems, and in 2015 I qualified as an accountant. When the opportunity arose to start my own practice in 2023, I knew it was the right time.
I wanted to use my knowledge and experience to help businesses take control of their finances, while also achieving the work-life balance I'd been searching for since the pandemic, spending more time with my Beagle, Primrose.

Whether you're a sole trader, a start-up or an established business, we believe you deserve honest advice, clear communication and an accountant who takes the time to understand you and your business.
