Specialties: My career, particularly over the past 20 years, has concentrated on cutting-edge IT systems for small – medium businesses and Management Accounting. In Management Accounting the focus is on helping you look through your business’s windscreen instead of its rear-view mirror – in other words, managing future success in planned and structured way. This has helped develop the essential skills required for the new era of accountancy – working more closely with you, and starting with a blank sheet and mapping out a direction forward.

Philosophy to accountancy: Advances in IT, in particular cloud-based accounting applications, has opened up new opportunities in the services we can now provide our clients. Traditionally, the emphasis has been on the historically-based compliance aspects – bookkeeping, accounting, tax and the production financial statements and statutory returns. We can now help you focus on looking forwards instead of backwards, and provide you with a totally integrated set of financial services and strategic planning for the growth of your business.
