About

I'm qualified as FCA and bring Big 4 and top 10 experience to my role at Ballards. My responsibilities span corporate audit work alongside leading our healthcare practice for larger, more complex medical organisations that require sophisticated audit and advisory services.

I like to work with clients rather than just for them, this is why I moved from the larger firms. I provide a more personal service, helping clients succeed by understanding their numbers and exploring their options. Building genuine working relationships allows me to deliver advice that truly supports their business objectives.

What draws me to Ballards is that we have a committed team who take time to understand the real issues our clients face. This approach enables us to provide meaningful solutions rather than generic advice, particularly important in the healthcare sector where understanding operational complexities is crucial.

I lead our corporate healthcare and charity, supporting complex organisations with tailored, high-quality audit and advisory services. I believe in working with clients, not just for them, offering a personal, collaborative approach that helps them understand their numbers, explore their options, and achieve their goals through trusted, long-term relationships.
