Business Services

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.

 

I enjoy working closely with my clients and always take the time to listen and understand exactly what they need, before helping them to find the right solution, irrespective of any challenges.

 

Away from the office, I enjoy fishing, shooting, horse racing and skiing.  However, most of my time and energy is spent looking after my two very active young boys!

I oversee both the audit and business services departments in the Rugby office.  I have been a qualified accountant for over 15 years and enjoy assisting a wide range of clients to achieve their personal and business goals.
