With almost three decades of experience, I began my accountancy career back in 1991 with a Redditch accounting firm. During my time there, I became a fully qualified Chartered Certified Accountant and progressed to Accounts Manager, where I was the figurehead for a large portfolio of clients.

I am extremely experienced in advising sole traders, partnerships, LLP’s and ltd companies as well as in providing advice to businesses transitioning from one type of entity to another. I have vast experience with personal and corporate tax and with ever changing taxation landscapes, recognise that it is impossible to ‘categorise’ clients as every case should be assessed on individual circumstances. In addition, I have advised on business sales and acquisitions as well as considerable experience in many areas of Capital Gains Tax and VAT.

I believe it is incredibly important to stay up-to-date with changes within tax and financial legislation, I pride myself on providing excellent advice that benefits individuals as well as businesses. Our clients are at the heart of everything we do and I am always striving to be proactive as opposed to reactive to deliver excellent service to our many clients.

Outside of my accountancy work, I enjoy spending time with my family. I have a keen interest in wildlife and the environment. In addition, I like to stay active by visiting a local gym and enjoy watching boxing!

I started my accountancy career back in 2000, where I was working in a local practice whilst studying with the Association of Accounting Technicians, passing my final AAT exams in 2004.

In 2007 I began to split my time between working in practice and providing bookkeeping services for a range of clients of different sizes across various industries. In 2011, I left practice to work solely as a self-employed bookkeeper so that I could focus more on my family life and have more flexibility with my time.

Whilst I was self-employed as a Bookkeeper, I maintained an excellent working relationship with Managers and Partners from both of my previous accountancy firms, providing bookkeeping services for some of their clients.

My responsibilities at Davies Archytas include overseeing the preparation of accounts and VAT returns as well as assisting clients with accounting and bookkeeping queries.

Outside of my work life, I really enjoy spending time with my friends and family. In addition, I love giving back to my local community which is why I also volunteer my time as a Girl Guiding leader.

Starting my career in Accountancy back in 1994 as a Junior apprentice I progressed three years later to a large firm of accountants in Worcester where I worked for 10 years as an Account Manager. My experience spans both industry and practice.

Taking the plunge from Practice to Industry in 2007 I commuted to Leamington Spa where I was Financial Controller and then Finance Director for an Advertising Agency.

Having missed the client interaction in December 2018 I have moved back into Practice with Davies Archytas Accountants as Client Manager. It’s the personal touch that matters and having an excellent client relationship is what I strive to achieve each and every time I meet someone new or an existing colleague.

I am a keen golfer that loves playing the game but most of all enjoying the social aspect of meeting new faces. I have three boys that take up a lot of my time so it’s good that I am also an avid football fan. I enjoying spending time with the family which is extremely important to me. I also enjoy every sport going and am a keen cyclist!

After studying at Kingsley College, in 2017 I moved into a career in caring for the elderly.

Having spent a year caring for the elderly within the local community I wanted to advance my studies further and am presently studying AAT.

When my father started his own Accountancy Practice within Redditch it seemed the logical next career choice for me too. In December 2018, I joined the practice as Receptionist and Admin Assistant and have now progressed to assisting with the preparation of client accounts.

I have a very caring nature and love spending time with family and friends. I have a passion for music and enjoy most sporting activities.
