I have a significant amount of experience working with a variety of clients. This has allowed me to understand that each client has their own particular needs and wants. I work closely with my clients to ensure that targets are agreed, then I strive to over deliver against these targets.

Experience counts

In 2007, I obtained my ACA qualification while working for Deloitte. Having worked for several smaller and medium-sized practices, I joined PKF Smith Cooper in 2024. I have worked with a range of clients, from small owner-managed companies through to larger groups with turnover in excess of £100m. 

Deeper knowledge

I have extensive knowledge of statutory reporting. I have also gained significant experience in working with clients in the manufacturing, engineering, sales and distribution sectors. 

Personally speaking

I am a keen tennis player, both competitively and socially. I enjoy reading fiction books, with crime and thriller being my favourite genres. In my spare time, I love to go walking in the great outdoors.
