About Me
A Chartered Accountant who qualified with an International practice, I bring over 30 years’ experience as a CFO across a broad range of business sectors from manufacturing and distribution to retail, hospitality and technology, with the last decade focused on advising SMEs — from start-ups to established, family-run businesses.
Friendly, down to earth, and approachable, I offer a hands-on service covering accounting, payroll, statutory and management accounts, VAT, Corporation Tax, and self assessment returns, all tailored to your business with agreed fixed fees and no surprises.
Beyond the day-to-day, I can also step in as your Fractional CFO, providing strategic business planning advice and financial forecasting to help you plan for what’s next.
Get in touch by phone or email for a no-obligation discussion.
