I joined Sibbalds in October 2018 as part of the accounts preparation team. I then took on the role of client relationship manager where I manage my own portfolio of clients ensuring all their accounts, business tax and personal tax affairs are kept up to date. I also spend my time assisting clients with their queries whether it be software related, tax or accounts. I have an extensive knowledge of accounts software and I’m always happy to help out with any issues or queries that might arise.
Qualifications and experience
After leaving St Benedict’s Catholic Sixth form in 2007 I proceeded to pursue a career in Accountancy. I originally trained in the AAT at a firm in Ripley where I worked as an Accounts Trainee dealing with the start to finish accounts process. It was at this point I decided to attend Liverpool John Moores University to attain a BA (Hons) degree in Accountancy and Finance.
After graduating, I worked at a local Derby Accountancy practice as a Business Services Accountant where I would deal with all aspects of accounts, book keeping, business tax and personal tax.
What I like about my role
I enjoy working with the strong team of professionals here at Sibbalds and the drive to provide the best service possible to its clients. I aim to continue to work closely with the team and help drive the vision Sibbalds has for the firm.
With my role as client relationship manager, I enjoy working closely with my clients and building a strong relationship, this allows us to work effectively together and for me to be able to more effectively fulfill my role and the needs of my clients.
Things I enjoy outside Sibbalds
I like to keep fit and go to the gym regularly. When I’m not doing this I like to spend my time in the countryside and their pubs, Hiking and spending time with my friends and family.
Something you might not know about me
I am quite badly colour blind, this has gotten significantly worse over the years where I am now unable to register most colours so effectively see in black, white and grey. When I joined the first practice I was employed at, I mistakenly bought several shirts under the impression they were white…. they were pink.
