I left school in 1988 and started an apprenticeship in a small accountancy firm in Liverpool, training as an accountant and qualifying with the AAT qualification in 1992. I moved out of Liverpool and carried on my ACCA training with a firm of accountants in St Helens, qualifying with the ACCA in 2001.
I have worked for a number of large firms in the Northwest, Haslam Tunstall in Knutsford and finally Mitten Clarke an award-winning practice in Stoke on Trent before moving down to Cornwall in 2008 to be nearer my family who had moved here in 1989.
Accountancy is a passion for me. I enjoy helping businesses and individuals achieve success in both the short and long term. My work ethic is to treat people the way I would like to be treated myself so we reply to phone calls and emails the same day if possible. If we don’t know the answer to your question we will tell you that and get back to you as soon as we do have an answer.
Out of work I enjoy spending time with my husband and two children. I enjoy gardening, baking, reading and working out in the gym.

Since then, I’ve transitioned into a full-time admin role, and I’m excited to continue learning and improving efficiency in every part of the business.

Winter can be a challenging time for many people, particularly in parts of the UK where daylight hours are short and weather conditions are harsher.
