In addition to accountancy expertise, I also have experience in commercial management plus a law degree. This background helps me bring a wider perspective to clients’ business challenges.Before setting up my own Chartered Accountancy practice, I worked for both a local accountancy firm and a large international practice. I then started Buxton Accounting, which I’ve built from nothing into a busy firm with a team supporting upwards of 1,200 clients. Over the years, I’ve therefore developed a sound understanding of the differing needs of a wide variety of clients, and gained valuable insights into what my clients are going through as they grow their own businesses.As a result, I’m as knowledgeable – and as happy - delivering start-up advice as I am working for larger, established businesses. I can also help charities through their own particular tax minefields and sort out their accountancy requirements. My father was a self-employed joiner, so I knew from an early age about unexpected and unwelcome accountancy bills. Since becoming an accountant myself, I’ve vowed to treat people fairly and keep charges transparent – because I don’t want my clients cursing me every time a bill lands on the mat!Specialities: Working with family and owner managed business of all shapes and sizes.
