What’s your role here at A4G?

In the 15+ years at A4G I have worked with a wide range of businesses in various industries as an accountant, helping my clients achieve their plans and goals by providing advice with a holistic attitude. I enjoy using my knowledge gained from my professional qualification paired with invaluable experience that’s has grown throughout my career to support my clients run a successful business.

What’s your biggest career accomplishment?

Making partner after 11 years and saving a client just shy of £100,000 in tax savings.

What are your specialisms?

My clients come from all types of industry, property, manufacturing, traders, and so on. But my standout skills are in the veterinary industry, where I have helped many practices:

• Overcome challenges with cash flow and stock management
• Improving records and understanding management reports
• Significantly reducing their tax bill
• Maximise sales values (sometimes saving them 40%!)

What top tip would you share with every business owner?

Plan how much you want to draw from the business each month. If you plan this then you can grab much more control of your personal taxes, finances and set clearer and practical targets for your business.
