About

I am a qualified FCA and hold a BA (Hons) in Economics and Ancient History.

I began my career at KPMG London in financial services audit before moving to Deloitte's internal finance department as a Statutory Accountant. Since leaving Deloitte, I held senior finance roles in both manufacturing and distribution sectors before joining Ballards.

As a partner, I've made a significant impact across the business and am passionate about creating efficient, collaborative teams that support the firm's continued growth. My focus is on ensuring we have the right internal systems, processes and support structures to enable our client-facing teams to deliver exceptional service.

What makes Ballards special is that people are down to earth and genuinely care about the firm. This creates an environment where we can focus on doing the right thing for our clients, our people, and the business as a whole.
