I'm an Audit Partner at Cooper Parry specialising in helping entrepreneurs, OMB's and SME's in a number of sectors with a particular focus on Automotive.Initially working within a big 4 environment for 7 years, providing both audit and transaction related services, I then moved into industry in a financial controller role at a FTSE 100 group.This industry experience proved invaluable when I moved back into practice at Automotive specialists ASE, specialising in internal and external audit, control reviews, independent business reviews and transaction support including due diligence.The world of automotive retail is a tough one, with incredibly tight margins and high risk operations. The 21 years I have spent to date immersed in the Automotive world have enabled me to develop a unique skill set assisting businesses with control and profitability issues as well as transaction support.
