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.
