I'm a Hertfordshire-based accountant in the process of training towards chartered accountant status. In addition to my primary role in traditional accountancy practice, I assume responsibility for overseeing the marketing activities of several companies. I have also assumed the role of treasurer for the Ware Independent Traders, a local association representing independent businesses in my local town. My enthusiasm for business is evident in my keen interest in learning from both individuals and clients who are engaged in their own businesses and trades.
