My role
I have been with Lovewell Blake since 2011 and work from the Bury St Edmunds office where I am a Manager of the business services group. I work closely with our clients to provide, compliance, tax, VAT and business advice to a range of small businesses; from sole traders and owner managed structures to more established limited companies across Suffolk, Norfolk and Cambridgeshire. I specialise in Charities and Not-for-profit organisations where I look to guide trustees in the strategic planning decisions and objectives, for the benefit of the countless individuals, communities and activities generously undertaken across East Anglia.
About me
I qualified as a Chartered Certified Accountant in 2014. Outside of work, I am a dedicated father of three with a keen interest in football, golf and the odd bit of DIY.
