My role
I work in the business services department, helping our clients in and around Bury St Edmunds grow their businesses and manage their compliance. I also manage the firm's cloud strategy and have a wide range of knowledge in cloud accounting software, especially Xero and its app marketplace, which saw us nominated as Xero’s large firm of the year in 2024.
About me
I have worked in practice since 2008 and joined Lovewell Blake in 2016. From early on in my career, I worked in cloud accounting and was an early adopter of new accounting technology. When I am not in the office I am a huge film buff and take a keen interest in all things movie related. I love spending time with my family and friends and exploring the UK whenever I can.
