What's one piece of accounting advice you think all business owners should follow?
Stay on top of your bookkeeping. When your records are up to date, you can spot issues early, make better decisions, and save time.
What's your role at the firm, and what does a typical day look like for you?
My role is a mix of supporting clients and managing the team. Most days, I’m reviewing or preparing accounts and management reports, helping staff with technical queries, and checking in with clients to keep things running smoothly.
What do you like to do outside of work?
Going to the gym, going on holiday in our campervan, spending time with friends. Supporting Bristol City.
What's one myth about accountants you'd like to bust?
That we just crunch numbers all day. There is loads of communication involved, we’re constantly talking to clients, helping solve problems, and working as a team.
If you could automate one part of accounting forever, what would it be and why?
Chasing client information, it takes up at lot of time and that time could be used on more valuable work for the clients.
