I am a detail oriented and precise bookkeeper. I enjoy numbers and ensuring everything matches. I am highly capable to clean up books for a business, ensuring that everything is correct before any final submission. I will always provide advice for best practise, when it comes to bookkeeping and financial management within a business. I am proficient with cashflow and financial modelling and forecasting for business, as well as creating useful and understandable management reports as required. I am able to assist with grant funding applications and providing any financial forecasting required, please contact me beforehand for this service. If you are starting a new business I am happy to set up your books and accounts. So that moving forward you have nothing to worry about and it will be easy to keep track of every penny.

My background: I am a fully qualified bookkeeper, working towards chartered accountant status, after career changing from Engineering within the past couple of years. I have also owned and managed 2 of my own companies in the past. So I understand what it is like to be a small business owner and my aim is to be able to help other business owners reduce taxes and improve their finances.
