The first dozen years of my working life was done in the accountancy profession working for large and small practices with all manner of businesses. I qualified as a Certified Accountant and became a fellow in 1998. I have owned, formed, managed and advised businesses from start up to turnover of more than £50M. Over the years these businesses have turned over in excess of £250,000,000 whilst I was sitting in a director’s chair. I fuse my broad knowledge and experience with a strategic instinct to create and deliver long term wealth to my clients.
