I started my finance career in an accountancy practice where I qualified as a Chartered Accountant in 2003. After qualification I wanted to change from being an external advisor to being fully involved within a business, so I left practice to take up the first of several industry roles. I have wide-ranging experience, from listed blue-chip corporates to entrepreneurial owner-managed businesses across various sectors, particularly within financial services and property. I am accomplished in all aspects of financial reporting, payroll, business taxes and enjoy working with our external stakeholders. A key part of my role is maintaining the profitability of the business, while making sure we invest in the right areas to ensure the long-term success of the business. I have a very enjoyable and wide-ranging role in Project One, leading the Finance Team and Business Support Team to cover all financial, IT and facilities related activity.
