Executive summary

I have over 25 years' experience working with ambitious businesses, supporting them at every stage of their growth.

I work with public companies (both AIM and FTSE 250) and large private equity-backed businesses, with expertise across UK and US audit and accounting frameworks, alongside significant experience in capital markets and listing transactions. My work spans both local and international groups, including some of our largest and most high-profile clients, and I spent two years earlier in my career working in the US.

I particularly enjoy working with growing, dynamic businesses, bringing a practical and commercially focused approach to audit and advisory. While I work across sectors, I have a strong track record with software and technology businesses, including those evolving towards more tech-enabled delivery models.

Internally, I support the audit business as a member of the Audit Executive leadership team, with a focus on growth, clients and markets.
