What's one piece of accounting advice you think all business owners should follow?
When you go into business with someone, always set out how your relationship will work in writing – partnership/shareholder agreement.
What's your role at the firm, and what does a typical day look like for you?
I’m the legal beagle and co-director of the business.
What do you like to do outside of work?
Karate, golf, walking the dog.
What's one myth about lawyers you'd like to bust?
That we don’t understand commercial reality. I will always try to find a commercial solution within the legal framework OR we’re sooooo expensive – not us – we have pricing solutions for all sizes of business.
If I wasn't an accountant, I would be...
A helicopter pilot.
