Hello....

​I’ve spent the last seven years working closely with my own clients, and one of the most rewarding parts of my work has been watching their businesses grow and succeed.

​

Before starting my own practice, I was the finance lead for a successful family business and played a key role in supporting the sale of the company. Prior to that, I spent ten years in practice at Scott-Moncrieff, where I became a Director in Audit and was responsible for firm-wide training and development.

​

Over the course of my career, I’ve worked with businesses of all sizes across a wide range of sectors. I enjoy helping companies from the very beginning—whether that’s setting up a new business, developing robust accounting processes, or providing practical business advice as they grow. One of my first clients has since grown to achieve annual turnover of more than £3 million while maintaining strong profitability.

​

My audit background also means I can work effectively with auditors and prepare high-quality audit working papers, helping to make the audit process as smooth as possible. I have experience presenting to Boards and preparing Board papers, but what I’m most passionate about is making financial information clear and understandable for non-financial business owners and managers. I believe good advice should give people confidence, not confusion.

​

Alongside my client work, I also enjoy tutoring Higher Accounting and Higher Business Management, helping students build both knowledge and confidence in these subjects.
