About Me

I am a friendly and approachable Chartered Accountant with over 15 years of experience. I trained at PwC and have since been lucky enough to work with some of the UK’s most recognisable companies, as well as a variety of very small clients, so I’ve seen first-hand what really works (and doesn’t work) in managing a successful business.

If you’re looking for an accountant there’s a good chance you don’t enjoy the endless admin surrounding your accounts, tax and ever-changing regulations… but that’s the sort of thing I love, so I’ll be happy to take it on so you can focus on running your business.

I tailor my approach to each client and offer a broad range of services, so whatever you’re looking for please don’t hesitate to get in touch!

Proof in Practice

James was a fantastic support to me in tidying a backlog of accounting errors and a history of poor financial discipline. He worked efficiently to automate and simplify complex processes around month end and book keeping, saving me time and money! A great guy that I would love to work with again. Thanks for your support!

Mateus Moura - Mateus Moura Consulting

Paul O left us a 5 star review - I needed some help with self-assessment and tax on pension contributions and as accounting and the online forms of HMRC is not my strongest suit I got James involved. He was patient, knowledgeable, honest and helpful. I have instructed him to do my self-assessment in the future.

Paul O'Neill

We are so pleased to have found James, he was super efficient working on our end of year accounts, exceptionally thorough and very personable. We would have no hesitation in highly recommending James.

Philippa Esling - Apply Design & Build
