Working very much as a business partner to my clients and having a ‘one team’ mindset personally motivates me to help them realise success. It brings me great pleasure to assist by setting strategies for improvement to help their businesses grow.

I primarily focus on the preparation of statutory and management accounts, as well as on major audit assignments for companies of varying sizes and across a range of sectors including hospitality and leisure, property, consultancies, FCA regulated firms and technology companies including start-ups. I also provide business advisory support and particularly enjoy advising my clients on how to prepare for potential mergers, acquisitions or exit strategies.

If you’re interested…

I qualified as a Chartered Certified Accountant in 2001 and joined Gerald Edelman in 2005 and was most recently admitted to the partnership in 2017.

If you could have any superpower, what would it be?

The ability to eradicate poverty and child labour, and to ensure basic education for all because every child should be able to experience their childhood free of worry, suffering and oppression.

Who inspires you?

What one piece of advice would you give your 10-year-old self?
