Once described by a close business associate as ‘a rock’ in challenging situations, the same description could be applied to my role at William Buck. I am grounded, thoughtful and a straight-shooter who likes to deal with facts. I take great pride in leading a practice providing solid, stable and reliable advice, and that genuinely cares about its clients.With an exceptional ability to take a holistic view of situations, I seek to enter the inner sanctum of businesses that I work with and understand the full implications of any decision for all stakeholders. I suspect that I have an overdeveloped sense of responsibility and once I get involved with a client, I feel a duty to make things better.I provide business and financial management, tax and accounting advice to clients across many different industries. My key strengths are in problem solving and understanding business models. For these reasons, I have been called upon to assist many clients with strategic decision making.The close relationship that I develop with my clients enables me to identify, assess and rank risk areas within the entire business environment and thereby assist in management performance and accountability.With the responsibility for overseeing the running of a business myself, I understand the challenges involved and take great satisfaction in seeing people and businesses grow and develop as a result of my input.
