I entered the accountancy profession at the end of 2009 when I began working with Brett and studying in the evenings for a qualification with ACCA. 

I believe the best accountants are excellent communicators and are people-people, rather than (or hopefully as well as!) numbers-people. The best part of my job is meeting people and getting to know why clients do what they do.

Work/life balance is important to me, and something I try to encourage in our firm. Since 2018 we have worked a four day week and this has allowed me to spend more time with my family, and to enjoy life outside of work. Speaking of which; I am an enthusiastic but firmly mediocre badminton player, a poor tennis player, and a novice kayaker.
