My aim is to help people deal with all that is thrown at their businesses and especially the financial consequences. I am a Fellow of the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants & I am a Registered Auditor. I deal with issues covering accounts and taxation.
I have worked in accountancy since 1990 when I started in a small firm doing manual accounts. I progressed to a more lively firm, using computerised systems. Here I came across Sage (DOS version) for the first time. Soon learnt how much trouble a client can get into when they understand neither the accounts they are trying to prepare nor the package they are using. Gained a reputation for sorting out 'Sage' clients.
Having learned to 'sort out' sage based clients this skill set was transferred to the QuickBooks packages and I joined the 'Professional Advisors Programme'. I now assist a range of clients with issues on both packages on a regular basis.
I started my own firm on a part time basis in January 2003. In October 2007 I went self employed full time and I now run my business from my home in Winnersh.
I am currently looking to boost my practice with new clients. My clients find me approachable, willing to spend time answering their questions and I try to ensure that clients do not feel uncomfortable to ask what in their eyes are basic questions.
