Audit and Assurance

I have over 20 years' experience in advising owner-managed businesses and international groups on a broad range of commercial, transactional and compliance issues.  I have worked in London, Europe and Asia, before returning to the Midlands.

 

I enjoy providing my clients with commercial and practical advice relating to their day to day commercial, accounting and tax issues, together with addressing major strategic challenges they face from inception, mergers, acquisitions, financing to exit.

 

I have extensive experience in both buy-side and sell-side advice regarding MBOs, MBIs, BIMBOs, VIAMBOs, mergers, acquisition, disposals and fund raising.

 

I also oversee Magma's Audit & Assurance team and am actively involved in many of the larger audits.
