About Me

After graduating from the University of Sheffield with a 2:1 in Mathematics & Philosophy, I worked for two years as a commercial engineer for Alstom Power as part of their graduate trainee program. Following Alstom, I began an accountancy trainee contract with a chartered accountancy firm in Putney in South West London. I stayed at the firm for six years, and whilst there obtained my two professional qualifications. The firm was bought out in 2015, and in 2016 I decided to leave to spend four months backpacking in South East Asia. When I returned home, I worked for a newly established accountancy firm in central London which specialised in the creative and entertainment industries. I stayed at the firm for ten months, before deciding to leave to pursue my own practice in 2017. 

​

Working for the three firms gave me exposure to all aspects of general practice, and allowed me to see a variety of different ways that accountancy professionals operate. I worked with a broad variety of different clients, and advised on a wide scope of issues. Clients I have worked with in the past include shops, restaurants, consultants, construction companies, a dentist, a doctor, an artist, models, marketing companies, a PR company, a wine investor, a produce importer, a TV and theatre production company, as well as with high net worth individuals and high profile public figures.

​

Outside of work I like to meet up with friends, play golf, and spend time with my family, especially my nieces and nephews. I'm a Liverpool FC supporter, but don't let that put you off.
