Why I Started

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.

At Barnard Accountancy, we pride ourselves on offering a friendly, personal service. We explain your finances in plain English, not confusing accounting jargon. 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.
