Welcome to my profile and thank you for reading.I am passionate about Education and how schools and academies are able to manage and make the most of their funding by making it go further!Showing the value of schools and academies finance through timely and straight forward reporting, robust internal controls and navigating the pitfalls of compliance.1) Assisting schools and academies in making informed decisions.2) Giving clear and timely reports on a fully tailored basis to suit them.3) Helping to reduce time spent on compliance and concentrate on teaching and learning outcomes.I am looking to help school and academy leaders and those charged with governance maximise their financial management to help schools and academies thrive.I am looking to work with those who would like a qualified accountant and experienced chief financial officer on their side to allow them to get on with what they do best.In my spare time, when not volunteering as a governor, I like to travel, going to new places and seeking new experiences from cycling in the Alps, hiking in Japan to strolls around the British countryside. When at home and weather permitting you will find me stargazing in the garden.
